Happy #WorldJellyfishDay to all who celebrate 🎉 These mysterious magical creatures absolutely inspire me! www.tumbleandtide.com

New Gary Larson comics are available - and this one has tidepool humor 😄 www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

A work in progress this week - inspired by the beautiful colors inside this shell.

A first look at a batch of beach stones that finished tumbling! These were all found on my beachwalks, hand-picked for what they would (hopefully) look like when tumbled to a polish, which takes months. So fun to get that first look at them as they come out of the barrel! #rocktumbler #rocktumbling

Pretty sure it's here ✨

This is absolutely delightful! (Also, buy one of Sarah's advent calendars!)

I like finding tarnished, dusty jewelry at thrift shops and repurposing the beads into something new that I can wear. Finished these two bracelets this week 😊 #handmade #jewelry #reuse #recycle

The sky just did something cool! 😃 #cloudappreciation

The path of the sun over the course of a month(ish) this summer. After some so-so experiments, I like how this one came out! #solargraph #pinhole #solargraphy

Gorgeous image! 😍

I adore this 😍 perhaps because I'm a trinket beast, collecting little pretty things I make or find.

Just finished a new seashell window charm, getting it ready to send to its new home. May it brighten the window where it hangs and remind of salty breezes 😊 tumbleandtide.com #handmade #bsnm #ocean

I thought it was kinda cool on a recent morning to walk outside and see shiny trails of snail slime #InverteFest

A tide pool filled with barnacles feeding #InverteFest

A lil green cricket landed on my car door just in time for #InvertFest

Story of my life 🤣🤣🤣

When it's too hot out for comfort, we can dream of swimming in cool clear water next to jellyfish, with nothing more for us to do but match their gentle rhythmic motion. tumbleandtide.com #handmade #jewelry #bsnm #ocean

I can't believe it either.

This is a typical beach walk where the beach is covered in so many stones. When I find a special beach stone for a pendant, it is like a needle in a haystack! On this walk I found a few stones that will probably go in the tumbler, but none that are necklace-worthy. Maybe next time!

A statement piece, this shell is a real eye-popper! I love that it has the feel of a wing, like you could just soar away on an ocean breeze. artisans.coop/products/sea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm #ocean

Beautiful 😍 (and I hope I get to visit Iceland sometime!).

A lovely view this morning, with a sky that looks like a watercolor painting. #PNW #cloudappreciation

Formed by nature, this one-of-a-kind seashell is a shell fragment that’s been softened on the edges into this lovely curvy shape by its time in the ocean. I carefully transformed it into a special necklace for simple, everyday style. artisans.coop/products/sea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm #ocean

That dive is 10/10 🏆

A beautiful day in the neighborhood 😊 #PNW #cloudappreciation

This is one of those special pieces of sea glass I've found that have been shaped so beautifully by the ocean, it needed to become a pendant! On a handmade chain with watery blue glass beads to keep the feel of the ocean close to you. artisans.coop/products/sea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm #ocean

I wanted to learn something new, and the results are some fun new bracelets 😊 #handmade #jewelry

Snooze like nobody's watching. #birds

This necklace reflects the signature black and white color pattern of orcas, along with the gray-white saddle patch on their back which is unique to each individual like a fingerprint. Each glass bead is wire-wrapped by hand. artisans.coop/products/orc... #handmade #jewelry #marinemammals

This beach stone necklace really came together when I found these beads. The shades of deep indigo, teal, and burgundy in the beads complement the color of the stone so well. I love it! artisans.coop/products/bea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm #ocean

These advent calendars are so much fun - highly recommend!

This beach stone has a very special and delightful feature - a white accent line that wraps around the stone. Truly a one-of-a-kind necklace! artisans.coop/products/bea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm #ocean

A beach stone necklace for easy breezy ocean-loving nature-inspired style 💙 artisans.coop/products/bea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm

A beautiful beach stone - very dark gray, almost but not quite black - presented as a pendant on a necklace made just for this stone with wire-wrapped hematite beads. artisans.coop/products/bea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm #ocean

A story in two acts - four days apart - on a ferry pier. #birds

Nature has delighted and inspired humans forever 😍

If subtle neutrals are your style, this necklace is for you! A sweet little beach stone with a speckled pattern that gives it some depth without overpowering, and paired with frosted gray glass beads. Easy beachy style! artisans.coop/products/bea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm #ocean

A beach stone pendant balanced with watery glass beads. Simple, everyday style to keep the ocean close. artisans.coop/products/bea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm

This beach stone is a reddish-terracotta color (hard to describe!), not so common amongst the stones I find. It makes a lovely pendant paired with these glass beads in watery colors. artisans.coop/products/bea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm #ocean

A few moments from my beach walks this week... a 💙 on the beach, something interesting on a kelp blade (an encrusting bryozoan, I think), kelp floats, and a photobomb by a kite/sail thingy.

A shell with golden rays like the light of a sunrise over water, shaped by its time in the ocean, now a one-of-a-kind necklace. artisans.coop/products/sea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm

This petite shell fragment won me over as soon as I saw it, with its deep golden rays naturally etched in the surface. The gold-hued glass beads (with a dark iridescent-blue center) pair with the shell so well! artisans.coop/products/sea... #handmade #jewelry #bsnm

Summer's bounty 😃
