Little Pink House Studio Gabarus
8762 Hwy 327 B1K 3S1 Gabarus, PE, Canada

My third ‘offering’ for this year’s virtual craft market is not new, but I really need to sell these to make room in my little studio so I am putting them on sale. $5 for 6 cards. They are cheap n’ cheerful blank inside cards with pop art images of ocean life. Imagine Andy Warhol at Ingonish beach and you will get this: One set is: Gabarus lighthouse, seal, big mouth cod, laughing gull, sand dollar, squid. Second set is fishing boat, mackerel, lobster, whale tail, ocean waves..., sea urchin. I can mix and match. Purchase of calendars and candles over $100 will receive a free set! Gee whiz!

This year’s special offering for our virtual craft show is hand-cast and poured shell candles! I have taken real local shells from my beach, cast them in silicone, then created molds for candles. They are soy/beeswax/paraffin blends, and have a burn time from 1 hour to 8 depending on size. Pefect for your beach house, seafood dinner party, or oceanside gathering (real or virtual). I have two boxed sets in limited quantities - 3 different large moonsnails in a box or an assortment of 6 different shells. $25 per box. Ready for pick up in various locations across Cape Breton, or mail to you. Packaged in a nice 5 x 10 recycled board box with labels and ribbon. Drop me an email at [email protected] or message me. Quantities are somewhat limited.

Hi folks, I am back after a *few* rather turbulent years of change. I am participating in a wonderful virtual Christmas craft show, Deck the Halls. For those living in Cape Breton you can purchase and pick up at various locations on the island. For the rest of ya, I ship! Please check back tomorrow on this site and on my Facebook page for the official opening. For today, we will observe Remembrance Day.

I have fallen deeply into silicone...casting! Presently working on a large-scale marine installation which will become, with some luck (and engineering), a performance piece this fall at the Studio. In the meantime, my bestie Irene suggested making candles using some of the smaller moulds. My first 2 candles, a 10 ridged whelk and a moonsnail (from Gabarus beach), turned out well. About 4 hours of clean burn time on each. Oh so much fun. Wax is such a lovely material to cast - it has a glow from inside and is so forgiving. My floors and work tables, well, that’s a different story...
