Coal Pendants

The coal industry has been a big deal in Cape Breton for decades. It’s been slowly shutting down, but of course the coal is still here – and it washes up on our beaches, all soft and beautiful. I give it a semi-gloss coat of sealant (because coal, it is the dirty) and turn it into jewellery – don’t you love it?

    These are really cool! What kind of sealant do you use on something like coal and sand dollars?

    It’s actually a diamond-hard, crystal-clear varathane!
