My newest interest

Ok so the title is a little boring. I'd like to say "my newest obsession," but I'm just not the obsessive type. Lets just say that I am very enamored with the beauty and unique qualities that beach glass aka sea glass has to offer. I absolutely love the look of it. I love that each piece, if it is in fact natural, has a story and a history. We only get to know part of the story if we're lucky, and that part is the end. Where did it wash up, and which piece of jewelry did it end up gracing, for instance. Each piece is entirely unique in shape, size and coloring. I have enjoying the experience of using a couple of very large pieces that my mother found and gave to me. I made them into pendants in beach glass and gemstone necklaces. Now I would like the experience of finding some pieces myself. I know that the entire proces will be much more fulfilling and satisfying if I can find the beach glass with my own two hands and then give them a new vocation as the centerpieces of some beautiful jewelry. Take a look at some of my newest creations. I will take you on this explore with me as I create and share the final results. Thanks for looking.

  1. Beautiful creations! It is a lot of fun to find sea glass and I've been a passionate collector for about a decade. I'm just starting to into trying to figure out what it was in it's first life...but I do love what it has morphed into : )

  3. Well, you're off to a great start! You'll get the hang of it. I've been at it for two years and I've learned a lot in that time, as you will too.

    Your jewelry is lovely. I love beach glass too.

    Nice to meet you. Good luck with your blog and your Etsy shop. ♥

  5. Hi Everyone. I am just realizing now that there are some comments here. Hmmm, people are reading. I guess I should be more devoted. It's been a long time since I've posted anything, but two things have happened recently. I started beading again and my camera now works, so I can start showing off my new creations. Thanks for coming by.
