A gorgeous Pottery Gallery

Hello my friends!!!

One of the things I do enjoy a lot is visiting galleries and especially those with creations of artists that are not professional. It reminds me that every single person can create something unique. And it is not necessary for everyone to like it, but it is important for the artist since this is a beautiful way to express himself/herself.

Last week I had the chance to visit a pottery gallery where a friend of mine also participated. I was speechless… I couldn’t imagine that all of them were crafted by people that were into pottery just for a few months or a couple of years. I admired unique formations, with different artistic designs and views but all of them were so beautiful .

I am sure that my pictures cannot give you a really clear idea of the pottery gallery, but again you can check them out and I am sure you will admire them as I did. Enjoy!

BEACH POTTERY JEWELRY

Medina

I love beach pottery... you find it walking on a beautiful beach, and every piece has its own story. I love the way the sea or ocean models a piece making it smooth and soft in shape, and I love the fact that beach pottery is the expression of the culture of a specific country or sea shore. Beach pottery found on the shores of the Mediterranean is so different in design and textures from the one found on the shores of Scotland, or of Maine... and again, beach pottery gathered on the shores of a Greek island is so different in design from Italian beach pottery, or Spanish beach pottery. The glazings on beach pottery finds are often amazing, and make for gorgeous pieces of jewelry just left as they are.

Thank you for loving my new Mediterraneo ring! :) Since you liked the idea of making rings out of beach pottery, I decided to show you more rings I made out of beach pottery... some using the pieces as they were, some highlighted with paint or combined with copper wire and beads.

Mediterraneo 1, 2, 3 and 5 are already sold, Mediterraneo 4, 6, 7 and 8 are still available :) Mediterraneo 1 to 6 are all made with Italian beach pottery, Mediterraneo 7 and 8 are made from Greek beach pottery.

And this is my "trilogy" Anime Gemelle / Insieme / Dall'Eternità ('twin souls together since eternity'), which I had dedicated to my soulmate! Dall'Eternità is already sold, Anime Gemelle and Insieme are still available. All the three pieces were made out of Italian beach pottery finds (Riviera).
