Sea Glass Collecting Today.

Out on the beach collecting sea glass today for some new projects and glass chimes. These pieces were from a famous north east sea glass beach , well known for smooth , rolled pieces, ideal for more delicate creations. Some of the glass is from the 1800's.

How to make a Victorian Sea Glass Wind Chime.

The glass I collected while beach combing over 3 years on North East Beaches, it is all smooth and worn by sea and sand. I carefully drilled all the glass with two holes using a diamond tipped bit...and then arranged the pieces. The hanger I also collected from the beach. Drilled the hanger, spaced the holes and spent a few hours composing the drops and tying it all together...its a patience game but happy with the results.....I will be selling a few of these in my shop.
