Beacons Light Art

Beacons Light Art I am a blue-eyed Irish girl that has a passion to make cool stuff and teach others what I've learned My name is Colby. Canada's next, but I need a passport!

Art is what I do, and it's slowly making it's way all over New England. Oh yeah, the art...I use quality materials in my work and make up my own designs. Each piece is a unique piece of art- In short, no "cloning" is done in my collection. I started out with art many moons ago stringing beads in the park down in Charleston, SC. If you would have asked me at the time, I would have told you that I w

as a "renegade hippie traveler type" with no thoughts to clocks, schedules, or anyone telling me what to do. I used to get altered mentally to get into the "mood" to create. Needless to say, I lost a lot of friends and self-respect, and lots of cool art because of my choices at the time. In 2004 I cleaned up my act and started teaching art at a recovery center up here in NH. The spark of creativity had grown into a blaze by then, and I realized that the well is endless for anyone that wants to drink in inspiration. Our world is full of beauty everywhere, and I learned to reflect on uncomfortable things and believe that I would feel stronger, and one day would come that I wouldnt want alcohol anymore to help me feel "normal". Fast forward a few years, and I am now inventing new techniques and textures in my work all the time. I call my latest works my "Beacons". They are portable lamps made of hand-dyed translucent polymer clay on glass with a resin cast. Beacons come in different sizes and shapes. Some are a box, others a lantern style or orb. They light up from underneath using battery-operated lights. The name came from an art and music festival, as beacons are a cool vantage point in a dark field, or a crowded dance floor where your friends can easily find you. Sometimes you find strangers, too who come just to see what the light is all about. That's ok too. "Creations by Colby" is who I am online, and through the mail."Beacons" is the name of my business when I take the pieces out of my creative space (my kitchen), and out into the world. This answers the question: What does art mean to me? In my life as an example..."Addiction spirals to darkness, Art is a beacon, a vehicle out of ruin".

Beacons Light Art 2025 collection. Each pendant contains wildflowers and plant materials that I find on my walks on the Mad River Path. The h**p work on every one balances with the pendant, and I get my H**p from H**ptique. Please let me know if one speaks to your heart and you would love to make it yours, or a gift for someone special ✨️

Scope out 👀 my latest work. Pendants with designs that are made 💯 % out of dried flowers and other " plant matter". I find these materials provided by Mother Nature on my daily walks in the woods. They are then pressed in books for a few days or weeks, depending on the flora. After drying them I arrange them on metal trays with a tweezer. Last step, I resin cast them and they're good to go 24 hours later 👍

I've been busy making gift sets. They are $25 each, that includes shipping. The flowers were hand picked and dried by me. The blue ones, forget me nots were found at a spot that is one of my favorite swimming holes. Each set comes with a handsewn napkin, drawstring bag, and ittle tea tag, pick of the draw 😉
