Sunsational Designs Gallery & Beads of Paradise

This gallery, owned by a native Hatteras Island family for more than 20 years, is not an ordinary art gallery. Sure, they offer paintings and other artwork by their family of artisans, but they also offer rock art, driftwood art and their latest creation, oyster shell art. Sarah Allender is the jewelry designer on site. She also has her own signature etched glass that is fun and whimsical. They sell thousands of beads, too, so this is a great place to make your own custom jewelry. They also do hair wraps, ear piercing and henna tattoos.
