Love rests on no foundation.
It is an endless ocean,
with no beginning or end.
Imagine,
a suspended ocean,
riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
All souls have drowned in it,
and now dwell there.
One drop of that ocean is hope,
and the rest is fear.
Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
1207-1273

Austin Designs
 | | Austin in 1973 |
"Genuine sea glass is the glass found along shorelines, tumbled and broken by the ocean. Authentic sea glass is a rare find, but lucky beachcombers may find these jewel like pieces in the gravel and shell patches along beach tide lines. A very fortunate few may find bits or even whole bottles lost through the centuries in the storms and shipwrecks that still sweep over the Diamond Shoals of North Carolina. To supplement the natural supply, Sand . Sea . Sun™ began recreating the beach glass process. Today, the sea-style glass used in our jewelry is primarily recycled glass, created from broken bottles, stained glass remnants, and beads.  This colorful glass is broken, formed and finished in our studios, then tumbled with genuine beach sand, gravel, and salt water to replicate the roll of ocean waves. The resulting sand-etched finish turns these pieces into modern sea jewels, resembling the natural beach glass found along the shore. A long and labor intensive process (with many cuts, burns, and scrapes!) ~ but the results are worth it: sea style glass in a rainbow of color. 
Austin Design Jewelry, founded by Austin Allen, originated in 1985 on the Island of Cape Hatteras, a small fishing village on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and on the island of St. Thomas in the the U.S. Virgin Islands. Today, we have our studio in the foothills of the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains. Our company is a group of artisans which create each and every piece by hand. We pride ourselves not only in our original designs but also in the quality and workmanship which goes into every piece. Our inspiration, of course, is our home island ~ into all the jewelry we blend the colors, elements and feel of the ocean." See more

Stan Harmon
North Carolina Glass artist Stan Harmon has some fabulous new sculptures in glass and copper. The large stingray measures 39" x 27", and the smaller one measures
33" x 23".
These stingray sculptures are wonderful hanging together on a wall but they are equally beautiful as free standing table sculptures.
See more of Stan's work here.
