A Lovely Afternoon at the Beach

Great Beachcombing Weather, And a Little Sea Glass, Too

Yesterday afternoon we went on a walk at First Beach in La Push, WA.We had a clear sky and hardly any wind. It actually got to warm for us in the sun with all the winter clothing we were wearing. We quickly realized we were on the warm side of the "omega block" that is causing all the cold weather in the central and eastern U.S. And thats not a bad thing.Here are some pics of our walk.

I found a few nice pieces of sea glass, too.

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.

Newest Creations and Sorting Green Sea Glass in the Sun

Haven't posted in a while because we were on vacation.
Finally, after unpacking,  getting the studio somewhat in order and a day of canning tuna, I've been able to get around to making more wire wrapped sea glass jewelry. 

Unique asymmetrical design

Today it was so nice outside that I set up a table and sorted some green sea glass in the sun. It felt so good to have some sunshine on my shoulders.

These are going to be earrings very soon.

Charming Charms

I made a few charms a couple days ago.  I call the wrap style "suspended sea glass" because it looks like the sea  glass is suspended in the wire framework.

Short Beach Walk - Clallam Bay

The beach between Clallam Bay and Sekiu - looking towards Sekiu

Today I went on a short beach walk at Clallam Bay. I had to try out the zoom on my new Fuji HS30 camera and zoomed in across the Strait of Juan de Fuca over to BC Canada. I didn't find much by the way of sea glass, but it was nice just to get some fresh air.

Friday Afternoon Beach Hike

It was a sunny afternoon on Friday. We decided to take advantage of the prospects of some sunshine and headed to a beach near Kalaloch. Jim wanted to see the beached whale, again. It's been there for a few weeks and getting pretty stinky. Poor creature. 
it makes you wonder why it died. Was it old age, sickness, injury? Anyways, its been a blubberfest for the local eagles.  All the trees within sight of the beached whale had an eagle in it. Many of them were young eagles because they didn't have their distinctive white heads yet. 

This time I dropped Jim off near this beach, and I drove further down to the next beach where there was an easier access.  I don't care too much for sliding down steep wet cliffs on my butt.

This piece of driftwood reminded me of the beached whale further up the beach.

Just love the luminosity of sea glass when the sun shines on it
