Cecelia Slade 'Sand Dollars'

Cecelia Slade 'Sand Dollars' 2023
Mixed colours of polymer clay and silver plated base metal
50cm Necklace

These pieces were created with the local beaches in mind. I remember digging up sand to unearth chulkai shells (pipi shells) and scouring the wave line for the perfect pair of shells to make earrings. I also remember finding sand dollars and seeing who could find the biggest and the smallest ones. These pieces take me back to those times with my family. 

Exhibited in 'Exhibition Ready' exhibition @ UMI Arts Gallery, September 2024 - November 2024.
