The Story: After not painting for some time I had been itching for a creative outlet for my hands. Writing is great but doesn’t fill the same tactile creative space. I have always loved the sea and been an avid shell collector. On my recent writing retreats to Martha’s Vineyard, I have fallen in love with wampum which comes from the quahog shell (the ones you see with the purple lips). Starting with the wampum I have been having a creative blast making jewelry. Slowly adding other shells collected in the Caribbean and collected materials (such as sea glass), I have been varying the designs. Below are some images of the creations.
If you are interested in purchasing something please drop me a line at Dr.Cutts@nicolecutts.com and I can send pics of the current inventory and/or we can design something together. For more info and pics of my recent trunk show visit Vision Quest Retreat on FB.
