Sea Glass T-Shirts

T-Shirts with Various Sea Glass Designs
Looking for something other than sea glass jewelry to give a collecting cohort. Just to break up the routine of making jewelry I have started designing T-shirts with a sea glass theme. It helps to keep the mind sharp to try new and different endeavors.
I will be adding more sea glass designs as time marches on but you can view several I have already for sale by clicking Sea Glass T-Shirts.
Thanks,
Gary de Blois

Post Tsunami Debris

The effects of the Japaneese tsunami will begin to be felt in about three to fours years on the western coast of the US. Debris caught up in the North Pacific gyre will be carried along to California, Oregon and Washington State in the coming years. Beachcombers will be finding shoes, toys, food packages and other such flotsam and jetsam. Not the kind of finds one associates with a joyful stroll on the beach, especially when one considers that some of this debris may belong to ones that have lost their lives in the tsunami.
