Sea Glass and Hearts
Sea Glass and Hearts
Not a lot going on around here to photograph, or talk about.
Last week I learned what a hurricane must feel like. There was rain for 3 days straight and high winds. Not a lot of fun. Water in the RV, made it even less fun. The day after the bad storm, I went to the beach to look for glass. I found some pretty cool pieces, including this ceramic piece that is a wing.
This piece of sea glass is the biggest I have ever seen. It’s about 5 inches long and was a very exciting find. I also found this piece of ceramic that has been worn down to the shape of a heart.
The sun was out on Saturday so I took some of my glass to the beach so I could get these photos. It was a very cold and windy day again, so I took a few photos, walked Torrey for a little while, and headed for home.
I am planning on doing some mosaics with the glass on a couple little wood boxes I bought. Just a couple of Christmas gifts for my two nieces. I’ve never done a mosaic before, so a small project seemed a good way to start.
Have you ever done a mosaic, any advice for a novice?
I have always wanted to do a mosaic, but haven’t tried it yet. I LOVE the sea glass…how cool is that HUGE piece! I’d love to go to a beach that actually HAD sea glass…I have not been successful in the last couple of years! I’m so sorry you had water in the RV…that is not fun at all. And rain…I’ve heard Seattle is famous for lots and lots of RAIN. Hang in there!
There seems to be a lot of glass in this area. It’s fun to find, like a treasure hunt.
I love the pretty sea glass, lovely colors and shapes. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
the seaglass is gorgeous and the fact that a few were heart shaped, I consider to be a sign.
I have a friend who makes seaglass jewelry and is always collecting it by Lake Erie…she would die for your find!
Ya, I like the heart shapes, obviously. LOL I bet a jewelry maker would love some of the stuff I’ve picked up.
I love it…. and I wonder why we only find trash on our beach… we probably have the wrong ocean :o)
Sea glass is just old worn out trash. LOL
Learning to mosaic is on my list of hobbies when we live in a house again…the sea glass, that you collected yourself, should be perfect for this! LOVE the hearts!
I’ll let you know how my foray into mosaics goes. Should be interesting. LOL
Fun play with with glass and rocks. Beautiful light and colours.
These glass pieces are beautiful and precious, Mary. Love to see your mosaics. :)
It will be interesting to get the mosaics done. I have no idea what I’m doing. LOL
Hi mary…very late to your post. My sea glass collection has been in a bag in my basement for 18 years now! Time to pull out the memories. Thank you.
Those hearts are adorable.
Pretty glass. At least you can use the beach for photos. It makes a nice setting.
It does make a nice setting, and there is soooooo much wood on the shore here.
Man, you are finding the best stuff up there! I love the photo with the sea glass hearts on the big piece of sea glass! Might have to buy one of those! It would look great in our beachy-decorated house!
I have found some pretty cool stuff. Part of me thinks, good grief, they must have dumped a lot of trash in the sound. Then I guess I’m glad they did.
Was just looking at the “Sea Glass 2” print in your online store, which I want to buy a copy of, but I’d also love to purchase one of the 2nd photo down in this post. Is that also available for purchase? I didn’t see it in the store. You can just email me at jackiebouchard at hotmail when you get a chance!
Nice finds! I hope those made up a little bit for all the crappy weather you had to put up with!
Although I have never tried anything like this, it would be adorable, I’m sure, Mary…:)JP
No advice. I’m not artsy or craftsy. But my sister has made me a few mosaic projects and I adore them. Your nieces will love your gift.
Seeing the sea glass reminds me of childhood holidays at the beach. My sister and I used to collect them as treasures. Thanks for the memories Mary, I hope we get to see the finished mosaics. :-)
Love the heart sharped sea glass!
I have never done a ceramic piece — and keep thinking I will. Oh goodie! Now I can be inspired by you!
