The Fog......
 

The fog comes 
on little cat feet.

It sits looking 
over harbor and city 
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Ginny Costlow - Salt Marsh Studio
Ginny Costlow

A relative newcomer to the art of metal fabrication,  Ginny Costlow's imaginative combination of contrasting elements gives each piece she creates a unique quality.  From her tiny studio in Beaufort, NC, she enjoys the magic of turning an ordinary plate of copper into captivating wearable art.

Ginny Costlow
Copper, brass, and glass pendant






Ginny utilizes copper as the base for all her jewelry.  She adds other elements, such as brass, glass, or pottery.  She especially loves re-purposing found objects into her imaginative pieces.  This pendant contains a piece of glass and is suspended from a 24" sari silk ribbon.
