chain

Sara Wears AWD

| Andrea Watson O'Dell

 

Sara is wearing a custom handmade necklace by Andrea Watson Designs. The 2″ shark tooth pendant is wrapped in copper wire and hangs on a 28″ copper chain with clasp. I absolutely loved working with Sara on this necklace and can’t wait to begin wire wrapping the shark teeth from my own personal collection. A good friend gave me a tin full of shark teeth that he collected years ago in Hawaii,  but it was Sara’s necklace that gave me the inspiration to put them to use. Needless to say, I’m excited to begin working on more of these unique pieces.

My Heart Sleeps by the Sea

| Andrea Watson O'Dell

 

Early mornings outside always make me happy. The air is quiet and calm and the whole world feels hushed in the light of the rising sun. I settle into a little nook on the patio to continue the work I’ve already begun for another wooden sign. The wood has been sanded, white-washed, and dried. This happened days ago and the boards have since been tied together to hold the order in which they will be arranged. After breakfast and some yoga, I organize my materials and carefully begin to plan out the beautiful quote by Anne de Lenclos. It takes a few tries to get the perfect shade of teal, but a few hours later the quote is complete. Copper chain holds each verse together and the light colors of the paint mimic the hopeful air of Anne’s words.
