How to make a pendant from Sea Glass.

Sea Glass is our present beach obsession... we walk along the surf for hours in the early morning, searching for these frosty treasures. They come in all shapes and sizes; green's, aqua's, brown's, white's... Our collection has outgrown it's tea cup and now is quickly filling it's bucket.

A Good Man recently asked what I was going to do with my Sea Glass treasure. Alas, I had no answer... I had been collecting it for the joy of finding something. But his question got me thinking how I could put our sea-treasure to use.

Sea Glass jewelry is one idea. We decided to make a pendant.

All we needed was our Sea Glass, thin, bendy wire and our pliers.

I cut a bit more than an arms length of wire with my pliers. I used the rasp on the pliers to file the ends of the wire so that they could not hurt me.
Then I wrapped the Sea Glass tightly with the wire.
I finished it by making a hoop where the chain would thread and twisted it for strength.
Voila! A Sea Glass pendant, in all of 10 minutes!
I wore it all day and K remarked a few times how pretty it looked.
Beware any friends who's birthdays are coming up... guess what I'm going to make for you?

Blessings and magic.
