When my kids were school age, one of our favorite summer excursion venues was our local beaches. The kids would comb the shore along with me, hunting for the perfect seashell or jewel-like piece of sea glass. I accumulated quite a collection of sea glass over the years.
There aren't many opportunities for my kids to beach comb with me these days. Their lives keep them busy. But I have my seashore collections to bring back those fond memories.
You might remember that a couple of years ago I posted about some of the wire-wrapped jewelry I was making. I also began a sea glass bracelet, using wire-wrapping to both make the frame for the bracelet as well as secure the pieces of sea glass. I put it away unfinished and pretty much forgot about it.
One day this summer I came upon the project in a drawer and set it on my dresser to get to this summer. In clearing up the dresser earlier today, I decided to just finish the bracelet. I didn't have much left to do, just fashion some sort of wire-wrapping clasp.
The silver-plated wire bracelet holds five pieces of sea glass, 1 large pale blue piece, 2 white pieces, and 2 lime green pieces.
