I often wonder why humans are so attracted to the sea. What made us, who were descended from people who lived in trees, so fascinated by the silent call of the waves? What draws us to beaches, and why do we pass the time there?
My theory is, we are drawn to the ocean because of a simple, basic fact about humans: We are very curious creatures. Long have we been fascinated by the mystical, as well as observed the strange. So, it's only natural that we are drawn to the sun, sand and surf that seem to call to us.
In this respect, we have always been curious about the natural wonders that lie hidden beneath the sea. Take a moment to notice, that every sea-faring culture in the world has mermaids within their tales. There is also an abundance of jewels from the sea; colorful shells of different shapes and sizes, bits of coral and driftwood, and pearls.
Besides jewelry, numerous individuals like me, are able to find different uses for the materials the sea has cast off. Craftspeople create something new from these; something as mundane as a picture frame or a wind chime can become quite elegant with the additions of seashells integrated into the design. By using these objects, we get a feeling of affinity with the water, and even though we are land-dwellers, we get in touch with the sea.
After making numerous crafted items, craftspeople then showcase their work to the would-be buyers. They do this thru the dozens of craft shows held in Louisiana State. If you're an aspiring craftsperson yourself, you may want to try displaying your work there, or even if you're just someone who wants to just relax and see the different sights. Either way, you should search first online for craft shows in your area, and you're well on your way.
