Sea Glass in Seattle

Last weekend we went to the Folks Festival in Seattle. 
We walked on to the Ferry from Bainbridge Island.  After disembarking the vessel, we then hoofed it up to the West Lake Center to take the Monorail to the Seattle Center.
There was a lot of music, art and culinary delights to enjoy at the Folk Festival.
It was interesting and fun. I even got to interact with some other wire happy artists. 
When we were ready to go back, we decided to walk along the waterfront to go back to the ferry.
Once we got down to the waterfront we found a little beach. I was thinking to myself, if I find sea glass, it will be a perfect day. Well, we did! And amazingly it was quite a large amount for such a small beach. My little pouch would have bursted if I took more. What a pleasant surprise.

I wonder what I am going to make with some of these pieces...

More Wire Wrapped Sea Glass,

Last weekend I bought some new wire. It is antique brass color. I really like the way it looks with sea glass. I think some of my creations using this wire may appeal to the steampunk population. I am really excited to make some more pieces using this color of wire.

Now available from my Etsy shop

All the sea glass I use in my creations is authentic sea glass hand picked by me off the beach.

It is matt, has irregularities in the surface and the edges are smoothed from years of tumbling in the surf. 

I predict that authentic sea glass will become even more rare due to the fact that use of plastics has become the norm. 

This beautiful necklace comes with a sterling silver chain.

Perfect silver anniversary gift.

Last Friday while the weather was so perfect, I set up an impromptu Beach-n-Bling table in Forks, WA. I might be doing that more, as soon as I get my market canopy.

Bling Basket

I just finished a "bling basket"

When I am selling my wire wrapped sea glass jewelry at an event, I can't help notice how kids are attracted to my colorful creations. Every so often, a youth will come up to me with a couple of dollars in her hand and really want to buy something.  It makes me kind of feel bad that they can't afford it. Well, now I've come up with the solution. I made a bling basket. This where I have some "affordable" beach-n-bling for the youngest generation. 

Bling Basket filled with stuff for kids at kids' prices.

I glued sea glass, shells, bobbers, and beads onto this bling basket

This is where kids can find something special in their price range

This bling basket is the latest addition to Beach-n-Bling at events and markets

What do you think? should I add more bling onto the bling basket? I'd love your feedback.
