Taltree Art in the Garden

Just finished up the 2013 Taltree Arboretum event Art in the Garden. Stunning grounds and an amazing venue in which to display and sell my work. Many happy customers brought home their Piece of Jayde.

 The setup. I'm working on new pieces as the sun peeked out to warm us up!

 One customer asked me if I could wrap a shark's tooth she'd rediscovered in her things. 

I was happy to oblige!

A plate full o' beach glass! I love the pink one best. 

Beach Glass Crazy!

I am fortunate enough to have Lake Michigan in my backyard. It's been a lifelong hobby to hunt for beach glass along the shores. Now, I finally have an outlet for what to do with all these pieces of glass! Here are some of my creations:

Welcome to Pieces of Jayde!

For the past year, I've parked my url, www.piecesofjayde.com, at a different website where you could purchase my work. While I liked the website well enough, it did not give me the opportunity to talk to my fans, nor to show you pictures of things other than pieces I have for sale.

So, after talking it over with Kelly, my fabulous marketing director, I made a decision: My website here will go back to being a blog. If you want to purchase pieces, you can visit my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/piecesofjayde.

So please feel free to comment here or email me at piecesofjayde@gmail.com. I also have a Facebook page, www.facebook.com/piecesofjayde which is the first spot where I post my newest creations.
