Heart Story
One is about hearts. My daughter collects them. Glass hearts, rock hearts, bead hearts and those of the people who love her. So, we are talking. She is in bed. She wants me to fill her new stuffed elephant with love. I hug, squeeze and fill it up.
“It ran out,” she says. “Can you [...]

My mother sent me this link and it’s great. I love the photo of the wire-wrapped pottery. The bigger story though is about the artist Alexander Calder using “found art” before it was even trendy

Sea Glass Crafts
O.k., so I get blog stats and know how many people read my blog each day (40 to 80) depending on the day. And while I’d love to say everyone is here to read my writing or to see how to buy my sea glass art, they are not. A good deal are [...]
Sea Glass – “real” and “authentic”
Posted in Sea Glass/Beach Combing, tagged sea glass hunting on July 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Many people have asked me lately what the difference between real and person-tumbled sea glass is, how you can tell which is which and if I purchase any sea glass.
There are some great websites which detail what is real and valued by the sea glass purist. It’s a lot about color but it’s also about [...]

Sea Glass Synchronicty?
I’ve described my falling in love with sea glass and hunting as a spiritual explosion, a practice and something which has been teaching me. Well, now I’m reaching the less than blissful lessons. I’m not even going to get into the most difficult aspects. I’ve been called to teach. Over and over and [...]
Sea Glass Hunting as Extreme Sport or Sharing the Addiction?

My brother called me last night and we joked about how before long we’d by snorkeling in Hawaii to see if we could catch sea glass AS IT IS TUMBLING in the water. How can we get closer to the glass, the hunt, the thrill and make it even more of a peak experience? Is [...]
Sea Glass – The Jen

My cousin came over the other day for a wonderful and relaxing day of hanging out. She’s in her early twenties and we sat together and made jewelry together. She, nervous to make a piece was so careful in the pieces of glass she chose, conservative with her bead selection, clear about the wire color [...]

Two kind people have told me the photos on the etsy site are horrible. I am SO GRATEFUL. If your photos make your work look worse it is good to know. So I am learning to take better photos. Learning, learning and learning. So, I’m experimenting and here are a few new photos. I’ve got [...]
