11/30/2024 0 Comments Friends make everything better.... Friends come in many shapes and sizes but the most important thing is their loyalty and devotion to us. I've been having lots of fun with these new designs. It's kind of tricky to find the right shapes for the dogs but I lucked out with these ones. Sometimes I'll have to use pieces that will cause us to think a little outside the box to see the dogs but hopefully I will still find enough pieces to continue to make these fun cards.   #mansbestfriend #doglovers #foreverfriends #girlfriends #seaglasscards #myrockpaperart #seaglassart #cheersgirlfriend

 I’ve been making a lot of sea glass trees, bowls and cards lately. No surprise that my supply of glass has been GREATLY diminished.
I cut the tops off of 2 liter pop bottles to sort and store my glass in. At one point I had 12 of these containers with various colors of glass and now I’m down to 5 partial containers with the colors I find – dark green, light green, white/clear, brown and blue. I decided to take the advice that I always gave to my kids as they were growing up, and that was to ask for what you want or need – the worse that can happen is being told NO – but what if you got a YES. You’ll never know if you don’t ask. I put a container at my market display with a sign that said Sea Glass Donations Gratefully Accepted. I’d like to thank the people who stopped by and gave me sea glass. My containers are beginning to fill up again – so thank you for supporting my art through your donations. 11/28/2024 0 Comments Girlfriends make things better....  I'm loving these new designs. Now I have to keep a sharp eye open when I'm beach walking so I can find more "dresses". #foreverfriends #girlfriends #seaglasscards #myrockpaperart #seaglassart #cheersgirlfriend

11/13/2024 0 Comments Fun new card design....    I saw this idea online for using cork as posts in beach scenes so I figured it's a great way to recycle the corks I have. I used pencil crayons and pastels to spice up the backgrounds on these cards. Seems I'm into birds, crabs and fishermen today.

11/7/2024 0 Comments Time for a new style....    I'm running out of the proper shapes of glass for my regular Christmas trees so I'm trying another style that I had seen online somewhere. It is a much simpler design to create - we'll see how it turns out. I'm trying to figure out how to build this Christmas tree design. I put the first layer around the bottom no problem but I think I have to lie it flat and do one side at a time because otherwise while the glue is wet the glass pieces will just slide down. I had to put it in a bed of rice so that I can make it lay level because it's a tapered candle that I'm working around. I'm looking at the second picture and I see sort of a Mr. Potato Head face on it with all the tiles holding pieces in place. LOL This style is a slow process because of course the glue slides while its wet so I have to place just a few pieces and then use pieces of tile to brace the glass pieces in place until it dries. Then I can turn it to work on the next section. Definitely a slow process but I can see that it is starting to come together and might be interesting when it's finished. I tried this style of Christmas tree to use up some of my bigger pieces. I had enough bigger pieces to make two of these. l have to wait to see the final results to decide if I want to create more of this type. So after completing two of these trees I have decided that I will not make more. Firstly because I don't have enough bigger pieces to make another one but most importantly because I really didn't enjoy the creative process involved. This was more of a chore than an enjoyment and my motto is - if it's not fun don't do it. So I will listen to my own advice, until such time as I discover simpler way to create this type of tree. #beachwalk #seaglass #seaglassart #seaglassartist #seaglassartwork #seaglasstree #seaglasscollector #seaglassaddict #SeaGlassChristmasTrees #selftaughtartist 11/5/2024 0 Comments My trees are growing.... I started working on these four trees on October 23rd. They’ve been slowly progressing along. I think I will have the one in the front right finished today. It only needs maybe four more layers to it and then it should be done. The other ones have quite a few more layers yet to go but it’s all progressing. Some trees just grow faster than others LOL. #beachwalk #seaglass #seaglassart #seaglassartist #seaglassartwork #seaglasstree #seaglasscollector #seaglassaddict #SeaGlassChristmasTrees #selftaughtartist  BIG BIG SALE ON NOW!!!
