It is a very unusual piece of glass. Don't think I have ever found such a perfect heart, I was quite tempted to keep it!

These are incredible! I am setting up a page for the seaglass & launching it with a wee project on stories of found objects. Figuring the exact plan but it involves turning people's funds to pendant for free in exchange for a few lines about its story. Could definitely do that with one of those!

I have had people asking to buy this one or if I have another similar. I am really sorry but it sold within minutes of being listed. I don't have anything a similar shape, the beauty of seais each is different πŸ’™ but there are lots of pendents and earings available on my Etsy 😁

Although seaglass hunting is a joy on our long summer days, winter storms bring some of the best treasure. No such thing as bad weather as long as you are dressed for it πŸ˜‚ #Shetland

Many of these have sold out so I have added a few more seaglass pendants, earings and fairy lights to Etsy shop.
It takes time to make these so it will probably be a few weeks before I am about to restock again. Thanks so much for your support ❀️

I love all the variations in colour and patterns of crabs. We have so many star fish in the rock pools too and their colours are incredible

I never fully appreciated the beauty of seaweed until I lived in Shetland. These kids love exploring rock pools and I think i have as much fun as they do!

At 60 degrees north Spring can take it's time reaching #Shetland. We will have to wait for the hills to fill with flowers and the evening light to return. For now I will enjoy the stark beauty of our winter landscapes and welcome the new warmth in the sun.

An original artwork of a song thrush, created using watercolour paints on 5x7" watercolour paper.

In Scottish folklore, the song thrush is a positive omen, representing joy, hope, and the arrival of spring. Known for its, loud, melodic song, it is often regarded as a herald of light, contrasting with the dark winter months.

He does look quite dignified in that photo. Most of my pictures are of him sleeping with his tounge out πŸ˜‚

They often sleep with some space between them but sometimes they just make a kitten bundle πŸ˜‚

This is Dave. He was very nervous when he first arrived but has settled in beautifully and loves the kids. He still likes his own space but in the last few weeks he started purring and it is beautiful ❀️ #cat ##catsofbluesky
