An Update from Micki

It is truly hard to remember to update our blog in the midst of daily life and all the distractions that come with it.  And I am very easily distracted - much like a crow to shiny things.  So here I am finally focused on updating our blog and letting you all know what is happening on the home front.

We have been contacted by the Tourist Centre in Parksville, BC to bring in our handmade beach treasures to show them in person.  They discovered us through our online shop on Etsy.  We are excited about having another place to sell our products.  So if it all goes well, you will soon be able to see A2Sea Creations in Parksville!  That will be our fourth town, which is very cool!.  It is very validating to have people seek you out and ask if they can carry your products.

Also, Cheryl has been hard at work creating her quilting magic once again.  Her newest creation is a lovely wall hanging called 'Around the Pond'.  Check it out...

Around the Pond - Quilted Wall Hanging

We have also added something new to our shop since our last posting.  I took a pottery class and ran right home and created a few pieces for our shop.  We have sold a couple of them already.  Here are a few more...

 

Something Fishy - Nautical Pottery Pendant

 Ceramic Wire Wrapped Starfish Pendant

 Oceanna - Mermaid Sea Queen - Handbuilt Clay Face

Hopefully, in the near future, there will be more pottery items to choose from.   It has been fun learning a new medium.  Have a great March everyone!  I am looking forward to seeing more of the glorious sun and planting more flowers!

(Micki also has another Etsy Shop called A2Sea Photography and a singing telegram business called Tickleberry Telegrams.  She also has a coffee table book for sale on Blurb called An Ocean View.)

New at A2Sea Creations... Pottery!

Nautical Ring Bearer's Ring Holder Or Treasure Dish - Hand-Built Coiled Pottery

We are very pleased to announce that A2Sea Creations now has a few hand-built pottery pieces for sale! Clay is very enjoyable to work with and the creative possibilities are endless.

We have a new nautical multi-purpose treasure dish (see above) a unique and fun 'denim jean' clay mug (perfect for dad for Father's Day) and a brand new artsy bird plaque called the 'Bird of Hope'.

We will be introducing more pottery pieces in the near future so check us out from time to time! I hope to have my clay 'sea goddess' mask finished soon and when it's completed, it will be for sale on A2Sea Creations. We'll see how it turns out first. One of the exciting aspects about working with clay is the wonderful surprises you get when you open the kiln after the glazing/firing process is finished. You never quite know how your treasures will turn out. I can hardly wait! So stay tuned! We will even have some nautical clay jewelry for sale.
