Sea Glass From Your Country

Many of you are outside the U.S. -- Argentina, Mexico, France, Germany, India, Canada, Russia, Bulgaria, Australia, England, and more! Welcome.  I just want to mention that if you would like me to create a design with seaglass you or I have found in your country, I am happy to do it.  Just email me first, so you can select the piece and tell me what you would like.  Thanks for visiting Lucky Sea Glass.

Elephant Seals in California Having Fun

While driving back to San Francisco from Cambria along the coast, we stopped to see the elephant seals.  They were all over the beach, in the water, and I got some great photos. Here are a few...

I hope you are enjoying this blog.  It has had over 10,000 views as of today -- but I haven't heard from too many of you.  Please keep watching.   I hope to have a special offer for blog fans soon.  I just finished doing my spreadsheet/inventory so now I can design some new pieces for the holidays.

California sunsets

I was out in California last week and, of course, beachcombed for about an hour. Unfortunately, didn't find even one piece of sea glass  (near Cambria, south of San Simeon).  But, did take some pictures of the fabulous sunsets over the Pacific.

Amazing color --  no editing done!!

Sun setting into the Pacific.  Actual colors!

 

Sea Glass Festival November 2012 update

Lucky Sea Glass was invited to participate in a Sea Glass Festival in Chesapeake Bay area in Maryland on November 17.  Richard LaMotte, the author of Pure Sea Glass will be speaking the night before.  I will provide more details soon!  This would be a great time to do some holiday shopping and learn more about sea glass.

The festival will be at Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center, 600 Discovery Lane, Grasonville, MD 21638.   I'm told it is right over the Bay Bridge.   The event will run from 11:00 ti 3:00 P.M.  There are talks and walks on Friday the 16th.  This event includes juried artists. I hope to see you there -- and do mention this blog if you come!  I hope to demonstrate some of my techniques, too.

Something to Make You Smile!

I thought you might enjoy this little smiling fish today!

Learning New Skills

The more I create sea glass jewelry, the more I realize that I have learned so much in addition to wire wrapping, design, drilling glass, etc.  I have had to develop my photography skills, computer skills, marketing, and organizational skills.  Lately, I have been so busy trying to create a spreadsheet for my designs since the old loose leaf notebook is overrun with crossouts and erasures as items are sold, moved in and out of shops, etc.  Once I finish with the spreadsheet, I will hopefully be able to put some more pictures on the website since so many designs are not pictured!  Wish me luck!

Where to find seaglass

As you probably know, I look for sea glass wherever I travel! Even when there is no ocean or river.  But, I thought I'd list the places I have actually found sea glass -- and if you want more information, just check out my website, too.

No luck in China -- unless you count my monastery glass from Tibet.

Also, along the Dalmatian Coast...   I still have a lot of seaglassin' to do!  Please share if you know of a great seaglass beach.
