Wire Wrapped Sea Glass Earrings

The past few days, I've settled down and started wire wrapping some colored sea glass earrings. These are much more hard to find than white and brown.
I had so many white pairs and now I have some in blue and green on the market. It takes a lot of collecting and analyzing to come up with pairs that match well. You have to take the size, color, shape, texture and thickness all into consideration.

Copper and green how irresistible.


These will be available on Etsy soon!

Beach-n-Bling at the Beach Combers' Fun Fair in Ocean Shores, WA

Last weekend Beach-n-Bling went to the Beach Combers' Fun Fair in Ocean Shores, WA

This is a link to some pictures of my merchandise on display.

This is a link to an album I made of some of the very interesting beach combers' displays.

I had lots of fun and met some very nice people.

I also won some ribbons for my painted rocks.
(see my rock art blog)



Well, I personally didn't win this ribbon, but I do use the jewelry stand for displaying my wire wrapped sea glass. And I helped design it.

Sorting Sea Glass

Sorting sea glass is one of those things you have to do if you want to find pairs for making earrings. 
Like finding the fitting puzzle piece, it takes a lot of looking, time and patience. 


Just sorting through the blues and greens this time.

Do you see any pairs here? 

or here?

Very rarely do you find two identical pieces.

Do you like wire wrapped sea glass earrings?

Beach Hike in February

Yesterday we went on a beach hike at Second Beach near La Push, WA.
It was a fairly decent day, and it was high time to get out and get some salty air into my lungs. The tide was out and so was the sun, sort of. It was more or less kind of hazy and mild. Main thing: no rain.



That's me sitting on a  big styrofoam float, possibly washed over from Japan.

"Hole in the Wall"





I found one piece of  beach glass.  This is how it looks in the sand before it was picked up (by me).









Finding a piece of  sea glass is always a good  reason to celebrate! 
 I haven't been making much sea glass lately, because I have been painting more.
I have also been making dreamcatchers, for which I have started a new blog dedicated just to that.
Some of them have beach glass worked into them.
Click here to find out more about this dreamcatcher with sea glass.It is available for purchase, BTW.


Thanks for looking.
Now go shopping!
