Sea Glass Gifts Are Lucky and Special

Such a nice surprise customer today! He wanted some sea glass jewelry for his wife and his daughter for Christmas.  He selected one of my statement necklaces and earrings that coordinate as well as a pair of earrings for his daughter. He was so happy and relieved he got his gifts! Made me feel good, too.

Alaskan Sea Glass And Moonstones

I was on two cruises this past summer that went from Vancouver, Canada to Nome. They were expedition cruises so every day we were off to explore on Zodiacs! One day we went to an uninhabited island that had once been a fishing village for Norwegian families. They left when the fish moved on! While we scrambled along old paths and lumbered buildings overtaken by weeds and wildflowers, I decided to beachcomb by the shore. What a surprise-- there was a lot of colorful sea glass that probably was there for at least forty years.

Now, back home, I have created a few designs with my Alaskan Sea Glass. One I kept for myself, several sold recently to  fellow passengers,  but there are some on Etsy in my shop and more in the idea stage.

I found moonstones on another Alaskan island, too.

Alaska was Fantastic! Bears, Whales, Glaciers, and Sea Glass!!!

I really have been overwhelmed with all the pictures I took in Alaska and the fabulous sea glass I found there also has inspired me, so I haven't had time to write or post pictures here.  I have put some up on the Lucky Sea Glass facebook page.  Here are a few -- to give you an idea.   Check back in a few days. Oh, and also please take a look at my Etsy shop items that are available to buy on this blog, too!

Alaska and Russia Are Next!

I am looking forward to seeing whales, bears, bald eagles and fabulous scenery in Alaska. Hope to find some sea glass there, too.

Some Pictures From Cruises Lisbon to Dublin

The two cruises were really great expeditions to Portugal, Spain, France, Guernsey, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.  We stopped at tiny islands and visited sites like Mont St.Michelle, Normandy beaches, Iona, Giant's Causeway in Ireland, Gehry museum in Bilbao, and many more. I even found sea glass along the way.  Here are some pictures.

Loving Lisbon!

Lisbon has great food, sights, and I am loving it!  No sea glass hunting yet, but stay posted.  Saw a ruined castle today that overlooks the river Tagus and the city. Pictures will come later!  This is my second trip to Portugal, but there still is plenty to see and do.  I wrote about a river cruise on the Douro on Answers.com if you want to check that out. More later.

A New Painting with Sea Glass

I have been working on this sea glass window for a while. I painted the ocean and sky, used sea glass for the rest.  Next I will pour resin over it once I feel brave! Never used resin before. Any suggestions?
