About Odonata/Contact Us
Odonata was born in 2004 while on a spiritual journey of healing. Odonata, the scientific name for the dragonfly has always inspired me creatively. These gossamer-winged creatures in Asian cultures, symbolize transformation, spiritual awakening and growth. They also represent swiftness, joy and leisure. What more perfect name could be found for this journey of ours?!
Walking the beaches, creating jewelry, and meeting wonderful people at craft fairs, has been a source of great joy and has added color to my life. Like the spiritual symbolization, I am awakened— energized and hopefully, always growing.
About my products
Seaglass, beach glass or mermaid’s tears refer to shards of glass altered after many years of exposure to marine conditions. Tumbling about in sand, rocks and salty water the broken bits of discarded glassware are transformed into “gems.”
It takes at least 30 years to fully soften most glass. It is fascinating to research the origins of a piece of glass and find that it is over 100 years old!
When I create jewelry I use the glass in the same condition that is was found on the beach. I do not cut or grind any of my glass. As resources are depleting I have reluctantly begun to tumble 1% of glass used in my work. However, I use sea water and sand in my tumbler. I guess I am expediting nature!
