Last week, I went to the Opening Reception for the South Shore Art Center's current Media Mix…read moreexhibition (one of my pieces is in the show!) What a lovely evening! And, crowded, too -the entire gallery space was packed! There was food, beer, wine, live jazz music, awards, and lots of beautiful artwork! :) If you have never been, there are basically 2 main gallery spaces, the Bancroft Gallery & the Dillon Gallery. The Bancroft gallery is the larger space where Media Mix is being shown. I like this space very much! It has large walls on one side of it, and shorter walls on the other side with ample lighting. The walls seem to be some kind of upholstered plywood which makes for easy positioning of paintings. (No worrying about hiding nail holes!) There is also a hardwood floor which makes the entire space look modern and clean. The Dillon Gallery is smaller and darker. There was an exhibit of Italian paintings in there, which I enjoyed very much! This was really my first involvement with the South Shore Art Center, but overall, it seems to be a great place to view and learn about art! Everyone I met there is very friendly, and happy to meet local artists. It is also located in a beautiful town! I highly recommend stopping by to take a peek: http://blog.thelonebeader.com/2010/03/media-mix-opening-reception.html

She did a gorgeous custom sea glass/sterling "sand dollar" keychain for us. I have lovely blue and white pottery dangle earrings. We got my sister a matched set of earrings and a pendant. I love her use of different textures, milgrain edging, and excellent craftsmanship. I want pretty much everything in her jewelry case. Skip the cheap, mass-produced beach glass jewelry and support a local business. Go with one of Kieli's one-of-a-kind quality designs, it will last you for years. It's also worth mentioning that Kieli also carries driftwood art, accessories, sea glass cards, and other home items as well. Perfect for the impossible-to-buy-for people on your list!

I've had her make Rings, Pendants, Bracelets and Earrings with the Sea Glass that I have found. If you don't have any, she has plenty to choose from. Everything is hand made and the Quality of her Work is Stunning!!! If you have a piece of sentimental Sea Glass or Stone, why not have her turn it into something that you can wear? I have posted 2 photos showing my last 2 pieces that I had made recently. Her Studio is Adorable with lots of jewelry for sale by Kieli and other Fantastic Art by a couple of other local Artists. It's conveniently located in Scituate Harbor with plenty of parking. Worth the Ride !
