Welcome to my web site! Lots of big changes this year! I've been really getting into doing watercolors and will be offering original works as well as matted and/or framed prints (I'm suuuuuper excited about this!!) My work is generally a bit quirky, fun and colorful and definitely reflects my obsession with weird little houses. But I paint pretty much anything from coastal scenes to still life. I'm getting a great response so far and that always makes any artist happy :) These will be listed once mostly all at once so you can see several at a time, rather than in dribs and drabs. All prints are sold matted in a clear cello sleeve and ready to display as they are. Frames will also be available in the options for each listing. I'll also be doing all sorts of new things like Greeting Cards (singles and boxed sets), Gift Tags and whatever other fun stuff I can think of! I'm hoping to have them ready for the holiday season and will make an announcement to anyone on my mailing list :)
So please do check them out and pop back in occasionally to see new work as it's listed!
I'm still trying to phase out my Etsy shops and this will ultimately become the only place I sell on line. It's not an easy transition but it'll eventually happen. And 1000 "Thank Yous" for being here!
I wish you all a happy and prosperous 2025! ♥♥ Tracey

♦ My Dreadlock beads are a very organic style of bead made partially by me, partially by the glass itself. I allow it to flow and twist as it wants to (with some coaxing, of course) giving it a very natural, watery feel. Once I am happy with the look of it, I allow it to cool and the flowing stops in it's tracks, forever keeping this form. Because of this, they are all one of a kind and cannot be repeated even if I wanted to!
♦ Care... All of my beads are kiln annealed (cooled very slowly) assuring a long, happy life of your beads. Although they are very durable and perfectly suitable for Dreads or Jewelery, please keep in mind they are still glass. And any glass can crack or break if not handled appropriately (such as dropping them on very hard surfaces) These can last literally for centuries with minimal care.
