Need Something for Mother's Day?

I've finally gotten around to putting some sea glass jewelry online. I'll be adding more as time permits. My store is on Etsy.com. They are pretty straight forward. To buy you have to set up an account which is a matter of providing a username, password, and a valid email address.
Please take a look at my Sea Glass Jewelry.
Thanks,
Gary de Blois

A Sea Glass Adventure

Here's a video of a recent sea glass collecting adventure. Just wanted to see if posting a video works better than individual pix .

Sea Glass Envy

I thought I had a large sea glass boulder. Penny Parker bagged this monster from the NE of England and sent me a couple of pix along with a few measurements.
Girth: 8.5" (215.9 mm)
Length: 4.5" (114.3 mm)
Weight: 17.9 ounces (507.47 grams)... Yikes!!!


On the left is a detail showing the thickly frosted surface of this sea glass behemoth.

You can see my "not-so-big" article by clicking February's Sea Glass Shard of the Month.

By Nature's Design

On a recent sea glass hunt I came across this wonderful site. Left from the receding eddies is this "C Swirl" of seaweed, reminiscent of a motif oft used in my sea glass jewelry.

Humungous Sea Glass Boulder Washes Up in Fort Bragg

A large, white sea glass boulder is found washed up on the coast of Fort Bragg, CA after record setting storm. "I couldn't believe my eyes!" exclaimed longtime sea glass hunter Gary de Blois.
"You're gonna need a bigger baggie!" remarked Martin Brody, another collector in the area.
