Art on an Island


That's it...ART on an ISLAND!! http://www.artonanisland.com/.

That's the address where you'll get all the info about THIS art and THIS island.


The art is working in polymer clay to form pieces interesting enough to use to create jewelry. Funky designs. Designs that show the waves and swirls of the ocean and the curves of the sand dunes. Because you can do that beautiful nature stuff with clay. You can't do that with strung beads or setting gemstones. Clay almost has a life of its own and it can take on the grace and movement of nature....the nature it finds in its own environment. View and enjoy those designs at http://www.artonanisland.com/.

And the environment in this case is an island 18 miles long but only a few blocks wide six miles off the coast of New Jersey. Yes! New Jersey of all places! But not the Jersey you've been hearing about! If you've never been here you can't picture it. No problem! For a yummy description and some great pictures go to http://www.artonanisland.com/this-island/ and do some clicking. Be surprised!

How's this for atmosphere: I live in on old (over 100 years) Victorian cottage here and when I look east I see the dune grasses swaying in the ocean breeze. And when I look west there may be sails gliding by on a bay that is six miles wide. And beyond that? Over the shimmering bay? Wetlands, pinelands....a dotting of small towns. Not what you thought you'd see a two-hour drive south of New York City or a one-hour drive north of glittering Atlantic City. Right? For me, the sun comes up over the Atlantic Ocean, golden on the waves. And it sets, sparkling into the bay. And the ocean plays its lullabye in the stillness of the night.

IF THERE'S A CHANCE YOU MIGHT BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO VACATION HERE SOMEDAY..Check out the addresses above! Do the clicking and enjoy! And you talented people who do arts and crafts, check out The Clay Store at http://resources.theclaystore.com/polymer-clay-jewelry. They make your creative juices flow!
