My deviations stem from a passion for two things, words and the sea. No i'm not some gnarly old sea dog who used to read a lot on long voyages, but i was born near the sea and i tend to like being near the sea. Seaglass feeds this passion even more, and just learning how the glass has been made, discarded, broken, shaped and thrown back as a recycled work of art is fascinating.
I also have a passion for words, an aspiring writer, lover of words and word games, i was naturally drawn to the love of vintage wooden scrabble tiles, so many different types, colours and fonts used. They make for excellent photographic subjects, as do the seaglass beads.
My partner runs Seaglass shops on Etsy and Folksy under the name Peblsrock, and i'm on Zazzle and have a Folksy folder in her shop called Scrabblicious.
Both of us are happy to make items to order, and i can make variations of the photos seen here to order as well, just tell me the name, word, colour etc. and i'll do my best.
