*Where are you from? Tell us a bit about yourself.
My name is Jennifer - I live in beautiful SW Florida with my husband, two daughters ages 3 & 5, and one crazy dog. They keep me very busy! We are originally from Baltimore, Maryland - Moved to Florida about 6 years ago to enjoy the weather and a quieter, more peaceful area. Family time is most important to me..We love going to the beach, swimming in our pool, and gardening together.I have always loved to create, but have found Mosaics to be my passion. I love the idea of putting together a picture with so many tiny pieces...like a puzzle, they all come together to create something really special.
I have been making Mosaics for a while now...Mostly flower pots for myself, friends and family. I have always dreamed about selling items at craft shows, so I have decided to start something new with Blue Wave Glass. I am inspired always by nature...birds, butterflies, dragonflies, all kinds of flowers and plants. I think because of my daughters, I am now dreaming of mermaids and fairy mosaics too!
I want to make items that people will really use and display in there homes and gardens. I call it Functional Art - Flowers Pots, Candle Holders, Trivets, Birdhouses and Wall Hangings. I have so many more ideas!
I make each item like I was making a gift for my own friend or family. And I have a lot of fun making each and every one.
*How did you decide on your shop name?
My shop name tells you how much I love Florida's Gulf Coast...We have the most beautiful blue water!*What’s your supply addiction; is there a specific color or type of supply you just can’t pass up?
I do have a supply addition - Blue Stained Glass. For some reason all shades of blue just call out to me.*If you could give a piece of advice to a new shop - what would it be?
I have only been on Etsy for a short time...but I think the best advice is to take great pictures, promote your shop where ever you can, and don't give up. I like to read the Forums, other sellers give the best suggestions, they are really very helpful.*Are there other places on the net we can find you?
