Come out of your seashell

For this card I used the digi stamp Water Babe from A Day For Daisies. The tails were coloured with just "normal" coloured pencils and then painted with metallic sand paint to get the right glow. For the skin I used ProMarker - Almond (I actually tried ProMarker for the first time hehe). I covered the mermaid's head with sea glass in green and brownish.

The shell template came with the July issue of Crafts Beautiful. I printed the template on light purple paper. Then I put a layer of Metallic Sand Paint on it. I decorated with some molluscs, sea glass and freshwater pearls.

Reflections of the Sea

Sea glass mobile

The ebb and flow of waves sculpt rough glass into smooth pieces of glass, like those adorning my sea glass mobile. 

Sea glass is like sea treasure to me. Looking at my sea glass mobile, I feel that my precious memories of the sea are close to me. I can almost feel the fresh hues of the sea.

If you want to know how I created mine, then go ahead and ask me.

My brittle heart

Smoothed by the Sea

In this post you can see some smoothed and beautiful pieces of sea glass, which I've collected from the beach.

In the photo to the left you can see how a little square-looking piece and a heart-looking-piece are glued together and stuck on a little circle of metal. I have tied it all on a string.

Lost at sea

Here's another sea glass object of mine. Basically it's a diadem, which I've decorated with a lot of small pieces of colourful sea glass (and loads of glue).

Sailing over wave and tide oh ho ho.

Fantastic waves against our sides oh ho ho.

And I'm not so afraid.

Lost at sea, as I should be.

Lost in a melody

I thought I would share some of my home-made objects from last year. When I spent an evening at the beach I found some sea glass in the sand. Among those pieces I found this lovely piece of ocean glass. I glued the piece of glass on a little circle of metal. Then I tied it on a black string.

There's a lot of treasures out in the nature (even though some of them are not supposed to be there in the first place).  I find sea glass to be very beautiful and somehow unique. You just can't find a piece which looks exactly like the other.

The colour of the sea glass tells a story. This clear piece of glass comes from one of the following  sources: clear plates, glasses, windows or windshields.

Happily shared with craft schooling sunday
