With the Ice finally melted, we are free to scan the beaches for Agates, Basalt, and Unakite, among other Lake Superior Stones! I love to collect these stones and add the raw elements to my jewelry. It’s a perfect way to remember a day at the beach. Even for me, as I create each piece, I remember collecting the stones. My daughter often helps me in this endeavor. Even though the stones she picks are usually the size of an adult’s fist, it’s great to have her with me. 🙂

EXCITING NEWS: The Great Lakes Art Jewelry Family has scheduled a “Circle Tour” around Lake Superior. I will be sharing our photographs here and writing about our unique experience. We’ve worked in a few days at various campgrounds for hiking and beach strolling.

Some of the places include Pukaskwa, and Lake Superior Provincial Park! We’ll also be hunting for some local Amethyst! That’s right, Amethyst is found here in Lake Superior as well. We’ll be heading out some time in July! For now, we’re doing home improvements and I’m trying hard to build up my stocks before the busy summer season begins. ON THE WAY: More Enameled Great Lakes, Traditional Stone and Bezel Settings, Turtle Pendants, and so much more! It’s amazing how many ideas I have that I wish I had the time for!
