The Sandman's Painted Stones - Sea Treasure Frame

The Sandman’s Painted Stones ⏳️🪨

Somewhere beneath the moonlight, the Sandman has been painting.

Scattered throughout this little collection are seafoam sea glass gems, waiting for the moonlight to bring them to life. At the centre is a particularly special piece of PEI sandstone, marked with a perfectly formed little circle of iron oxide, like a tiny full moon. Just beneath it, an abstract wave seems to sweep across the stone, as though the Sandman painted the sea right beside the moon.

Nearby, a sandstone piece carries a series of wonderfully precise geometric lines, while another near the bottom holds its own nearly perfect circle. Other pieces are covered in unusual patches, lines and patterns of natural iron oxidation, each one catching the soft, sandy shades of the moon in its own way.

I've been collecting these curious little pieces of sandstone for years, always fascinated by the markings that nature left behind. They looked almost too much like tiny paintings to leave tucked away in a collection forever. I'm so happy they've finally found their way into a frame.

A little sea glass, a little sandstone, a little moonlight... and a few paintings the Sandman insists he didn't make.

It's summertime here in Prince Edward Island so my newly made sea treasure frames are filled with a combination of new and old finds. My beach-combing collection goes back more than 20 years and even longer for my Mom. I like to rummage through her collection and oftentimes I find shards from the same vessel found years apart.

This frame is filled with real hand-collected sea treasures, not a print.

These colours are considered a rare found objects and each frame has the equivalent of months of collecting along the ocean coast. 

Great gift idea! Perfect for the cottage or sea-themed wedding.

Please note* some of the shards have been smoothed mainly to remove rust/dirt and the odd sharp edge. This allows the colours and patterns to pop!

Sea Glass Origins: Genuine sea glass and sea pottery originate from fragments of broken bottles, tableware, or even shipwrecks, which are gradually tumbled by the ocean over many years. This natural process can take between 50 to 100 years, during which the fragments are smoothed into their characteristic rounded shapes and the glass acquires a distinctive frosted appearance, resulting from the gradual erosion of its original sheen.

The sea treasures are real therefore they may have minor imperfections and a slightly irregular shape.
