Which piece of Sea Glass Did I Use?


Wire Wrapped Sea Glass Pendant


Handful of Sea GlassYesterday I took a break from staring the computer screen to do something fun like wire wrapping  this pendant.                    




Can you guess which piece out of this handful of sea glass I used to make the pendant?

Bats hand painted on Wire Wrapped Sea Glass

Bats Hand Painted on Sea Glass

(what will they think of next?)




Authentic Sea Glass Necklace with a bat hand painted on it


What do bats and sea glass have to do with each other?     

Absolutely nothing.



However, because I like to celebrate the things about my environment in my art, I was inspired to paint something related to Austin, TX, where I have been living for nearly two years now. 

If you've ever been to Austin, you'll know that bats are a thing - a weird yet popular thing. In the months from April - October bats come flying out from under the Congress Street Bridge at dusk.  Many people gather here to watch the phenomeon. 

Waiting for the bats to come out on the Congress Street Bridge

You can get an idea of what the bats flying out from under the Congress Street Bridge looks like in this overexposed image.


People appreciate bats because they eat a lot of insects. And that means less pesky bugs in your space.

 To express my gratitude  for the fact that in Austin there are millions of bats eating billions of bugs. I decided to paint bats on sea glass. That's how bats and sea glass come together in my most recent art project of creating hand painted and wire wrapped authentic sea glass wearable art for you to enjoy.

Bangles with Hawaiian Sea Glass Dangles

Bangles with Dangles are the  jewelry item young fashionable women are looking for these days.  

Bangles with wire wrapped sea glass dangles

Beach-n-Bling at the Kuhio Hale Farmer's Market in Waimea, Hawaii 

At the market I was asked, if I had any bangles for sale. I didn't and I was sorry, because I may have had a sale. I thought about it and looked around for a few days and saw that a lot of women love to wear bangles with something dangling on it. It didn't take me long to to get on the bangle dangle wagon.  Now I  also have bangles with dangles to sell.  The dangles on my bangles are made out of genuine sea glass I personally hand pick off the beach. 

This lovely bangle is available on Etsy. Click this link to my shop.

Glad you visited. More to come soon.
