I've used spiral cages and encased small bits of sea glass in each. I've then added vintage beads (and a few modern seedbeads) which I enhanced by using silver plated bead caps and spacers, all strung from a silver plated thin chain.

Sea Glass - Apples and Pears
I went on holiday this year to Nice and my friend Alison handed me a large bag of sea glass. I still haven't attempted to drill holes into the lovely sea glass because I am afraid it will split and break, however, there are other ways to "skin a cat". Below is my latest attempt to "deal" with the sea glass and turn it into a beautiful piece of jewellery.

This is absolutely fabulous- i love how it all comes together.
ReplyDeleteI've been collecting some more sea glass and bits of sea polished marble. Taran found a large smoke grey piece which is really unusual.
Sea washed marble sounds nice.
