Featured :: ZnetShows Sea Glass

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm so glad to finally get a chance to try my hand at some of the sea glass that ZnetShows has been sharing through the beading community. 

 I love sea glass, and this 'cultured' glass is wonderful. If feels exactly the same as the pieces I've picked up along the shore and comes in such amazing colors and shapes!

 Bill Zhang of ZnetShows sent me beautiful blue glass and orange. I've got projects going in every direction at the moment and I'm just lining them all up to show you what I've done with his glass. This first piece uses a glass hoop as a toggle along with a beaded bar (more Russian spiral!). Bill also sent accent beads, which I used here with matching blue faceted cut glass. The center focal is also from ZnetShows; a large white faceted bead which I added a few strands of beads to. Somehow it gives it that deep sea look to me like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea! I am just loving this sea glass, and can't wait to show you all the pieces. So be sure to stop back by over the next week (or maybe two - Bill sent me quite a stash!)

    Wow! I love the colour and the style. It is really adorable. So beautiful! And it seems to bring a feeling of being in the beach when you wear something like this.
