It is quite a normal thing to love the sea. When I was a child, up to my early twenties, the best memories I had were always something that was near water. I assumed it was natural for someone who had relatives with a fishing business, but on second thought, I also know some other people in similar situations who'd disagree.
It wasn't much of a surprise for my friends when I told them I was going to use the sea as inspiration for my crafts. I used natural items I found on the beach; seashells of different shapes and colors, odd bits of coral and smooth driftwood, and sometimes even dried up starfishes. I use these to decorate or create household items like picture frames, kitchen magnets or ashtrays.
Sometimes, however, I get lucky enough and find a pearl or two. I also buy them when I have the chance, and I use it to make some more elaborate jewelry. I then show these things off to my friends, who are rightly envious of them. They wanted me to make some for them, too.
So, I got to thinking; maybe these pieces I'm making would sell quite well to more people! I logged on to the Internet and found a few sites about craft shows in Louisiana. In a couple of days, I got excited and started fervently making lots and lots of sculptures and household trinkets that were infused with an ocean motif.
In a matter of months, I had a lot of crafts. Now all I needed was to sell some of them in one of these craft shows. Deciding to start on the ones near my area, I called them up to ask about how they ran things.
And that's how I got started. That's how I started selling my pieces at craft shows. My special bond with the sea really helps me make my crafts unique and special, as the spirit of the sea is infused within the items. - 16887
