Golden Autumn Elegance

Golden Autumn Elegance

This may not be a picture of wire wrapped sea glass jewelry for starters today,  but I want to share with you what I see when I go on my walks down to the river. It is on these walks that I get exercise, and refresh my brain. For me, doing things like going on walks in nature is where new ideas are captured from the ever giving universe.

All I am discovering now is that a little bit of change can go a long way.It is interesting to observe how it sometimes takes a long plateau time of doing the same thing and then at some point, from some where a spark of a new idea put into action starts a whole new movement of activity. 


Sea Glass Bracelet with repurposed vintage coins

I've been making a new type of jewelry out of pieces of sea glass that just weren't moving.  They were fine, but something was lacking. Just don't ask me what. That is beyond my simple mind.

In this case, its putting together pieces in different ways. I am doing it with my jewelry parts and I'm attempting to apply my internet knowledge and skills to this idea. It isn't something that is done in one day. No way. It is a long path of experimenting, learning and implementation.

I think these two pieces go together well as a set

Recent Haul and Newly Created Jewelry

Here is a photo of a recent haul of sea glass we found on a Strait of Juan de Fuca Beach.  I wasn't expecting to find this much, because a lot of sand has washed in over the gravel this summer. It is going to take some serious stormy weather to make the sand go away.


I already have a good idea of what I'm going to do with that nice big cobalt blue piece of sea glass.

I have been consistently creating more jewelry. Here are several of my latest pieces.

  You can also purchase them on my Etsy shop.

Posted here today are are a few of my latest wire wrapped sea glass creations
They have been hand crafted in the past few days. Most of these are also available on my Etsy shop

Just in case anyone was wondering all the sea glass I use in the jewelry I make is genuine sea glass that I have hand picked off a Pacific coast  or a Strait of Juan de Fuca beach.

Upcycling

Upcycling: Turning Trash into Treasure

Beach-n-Bling's interpretation of upcycling is turning trash into treasure. 

It goes like this: one  goes to the beach,  finds  glass  that was tossed away as trash years ago and turns it into  treasure.

Three new pairs of Earrings

Three newly created pairs of earrings are now available on my Etsy shop.

I finally had to take the time and put together some pairs of aquamarine blue pieces of sea glass. It takes a lot of time to pick the pairs. Today I created three new pairs of earrings.


I hope they sell right away.
