Of Sea Glass and Rocky Shores

A gathering of sea glass.....

Solitary sea glass....

No sea glass to be found.... well I thought so until I saw the buttons....


Perhaps I was thinking sea glass when I added the velvet circles.

  3. Very cool! I especially love the sea glass and the piece with the buttons and one of my favourite techniques (that you taught me)!!! Of course, I'm also attracted to all the circular (sort of) shapes....and all of your wonderful embroidery.....

  11. The colours of the sea glass are absolutely spectacular!! Not something you find in this land-locked area, for sure.

  12. What a fun & inspiring post...your piece is beyond l.o.v.e.r.l.y....it is SCRUMPTIOUS!! I especially luv the way you have used the variegated threads. They add such dimension and your velvet glass-ions appear to be tumbling with the tide - perfection.

  13. The most common seaglass colour is green. The rarest is the blue. we don't seem to make many blue bottles nowadays. Actually, with cans taking over it seems there is less and less glass. Must check out the seaglasslovers site.
