Writing is great but doesn&#8217;t fill the same tactile creative space. I have always loved the sea and been an avid shell collector.\u00a0 On my recent writing retreats to Martha&#8217;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.\u00a0 Below are some images of the creations.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in purchasing\u00a0something please\u00a0drop me a line at\u00a0Dr.Cutts@nicolecutts.com and I can send pics of the current inventory and\/or we can design
