My beautiful friend, Wendy, is the owner of Pearls Within, and the handmade items are stunning and so reasonably price. She will open an oyster for you to reveal a stunning pearl which could be any hue of white, pink, or black.
Wendy is one of the most creative people I know. She started pearls within mini, many years ago on her own, and now has her own shop.
To open an oyster and see what surprises inside is one of the most exciting things to do.
There is a backstory to the piece of birchbark that is shown in the final product. I was walking in the woods conversing with God, and this just happened to be on the ground. To me, it was a symbol of direction to the people I love up here in the state of Maine. To me, I saw the letter 'N' with an arrow going through it, which indicated to me that I had friends and loved ones up in the north... which is very true!
The pearl and its shell came from Wendy's boutique. She opened a shell that my BFF Cathy chose for me from the bowl (totally a group effort) for me, and cleaned off the beautiful white pearl that was within. We then took the birch bark, shell, and the beautiful pearl and put together the framing container that you see here.
I would certainly recommend visiting Wendy's boutique, Pearls Within, anytime that you are driving through the beautiful state of Maine on Route 302 or visit her website. She can usually customize her art to fit your need
