Beachcomber's Christmas Tree

Beachcomber's Christmas Tree

Today we just put up and decorated our unconventional Christmas tree.

The tree itself is a big tangle of net and driftwood that Jim found on the beach one day. He was so impressed with the size and complexity of it that he had to take it home.

We decorated it with lights and all sorts of plastic floats and other flotsam we thought would hang well as ornaments.

It was a lot of fun to create this installation made almost completely out of stuff we found washed ashore on the beach.

Now I have somewhere to hang my sea glass Christmas tree ornaments!

Sea Glass Christmas Tree Ornaments

Sea Glass Christmas Tree Ornaments

I've been keeping busy dedicating my efforts to the upcoming Christmas holiday season by making sea glass Christmas tree ornaments.
Customers at the last holiday bazaar were happy to purchase a handmade sea glass ornament for $5 a piece. Below are a couple pictures of the second batch of sea glass christmas tree ornaments. Last week I sold all but 3 from the first batch of 17 ornaments.

This is a large group shot of the Christmas tree ornaments

These are the larger, fancier sea glass Christmas tree ornaments

This set is for sale on my Etsy shop.

Keeping Busy in November

Keeping Busy in November

This month has kept me very busy with going to bazaars, making jewelry and experimenting with new materials and techniques.
Shown here are some of the things I made in the past couple of weeks.

The past few weeks I have been learning how to made cedar baskets. This is my third little basket. I made a necklace to go with it that has drilled green sea glass in it. Because it is a learning piece, it is very special to me and won't be for sale. I really enjoy making baskets. 

This is a stacked sea glass pendant.

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.
