Sea glass flowers

[NorthEndGal]

First attempt, inspired by similar on Instagram

I used seaglass, driftwood and copper wire, all find while I have been beachcombing.

Anyone else work with driftwood or seaglass?

Those look great - blue is hard to come by here! I collect sea glass but I've never done anything with it.

They’re lovely
I did some box pictures with ‘seaside’ things for my bathroom

Pretty! Love the bottle top vase. I prefer a slightly deeper box frame but that’s just my personal taste - I would be intrigued if I saw your style anywhere.
Do you just comb local beaches? I have a friend who collects sea glass for the pictures like that and she has special trips out just to collect materials.

Thank you! Blue and pink are hard to come be here as well, they are some of my special pieces.
I collect all over Nova Scotia, but stay within the province, and I collect all my own, no buying or tumbling.
The pictures are crappy, but the frames are actually quite deep, they are Ribba ones from Ikea.
I also display my sea oddities, as I call them. Everything that isn't sea glass basically!

Gorgeous work GreenOliveOrBlackOlive

I go beachcombing most days

😁 The best bit was getting a glue gun. I never knew I needed a glue gun, but it’s brilliant!

Haha , it is a slippery slope! First I needed a glue gun, then the E6000, then came the drills and power tools!

Ooooh more toys to collect! I’d better be careful 😁
I love your pictures NorthEndGal..there something about selecting certain objects and displaying them together that makes them so interesting. A frame around an idea or an arrangement puts it in a whole new light.
I only did mine because I couldn’t find what I wanted anywhere, but having done so I can see it can become quite addictive.

It is addictive! I started making things to use up what I was bringing home. I gave away a few, then people asked me to make more, then there was a craft show, which led to a few more, and then I actually made it into a tiny business.
Now I'm in the process of arranging a sea glass festival!
Things get out of hand quickly...

Oh, and thank you for saying nice things
