Stepping stone
This is one of my projects and my tip with making sure the glass looks colourful against the concrete is to spraypaint the back side white. This will make sure the glass reflects its own colour and not grey.

I just discovered your site and am so impressed by your sea glass art. Do you collect the sea glass yourself? Do you get it at Fort Bragg? I did’t know there was any left there.
I’m quite a ways away from Fort Bragg — all the way on the other side of the ocean 🙂
Thank you for showing me what can be made with sea glass. I recently received about 2 cups of sea glass from my brother. I would like to make jewelry out of some of it. I will need to find someone who can drill the glass pieces for me.
I love the beach and the sea glass items are just wonderful!
Hi Tanya, My name is John Appleby, and I live in South Wales. My wife and I have been collecting sea glass now for a few years. I have a lot of partially buffered sea glass, all genuinely sea buffered. Would you be interested in purchasing them, or could you put me in the right direction to finding some one. I have photos of the sea glass if you are interested.
Thank you, John
Hi John — I understand that there are people who sell sea glass on Ebay and Etsy so I’d recommend looking into it. Happy sea glass hunting and selling 🙂
Hi, would you mind changing the link on the “Door Knob” to http://beachyrustica.mysupadupa.com/collections/beach-glass/products/cabinet-knob-sea-glass-stone-drawer-pull-made-in-america
Thanks to a change in etsy payment processors my shop there will be gone as of May 18th. Thank you! 🙂
Of course! 🙂
Thanks so much for featuring my friend Karen’s bathroom countertop! It is stunning in person –
I’ll bet it is! Please pass her on this feature if you haven’t done so already 🙂
