Suncatchers

​

Of all the sea glass I collect, the most rugged and raw more often than not wends its way into a sun-catcher of some form,

be that freestanding bottled flowers and plants, soldered plaques,

or simple chunky hanging mobiles.

​

And of all the sea glass I collect it is often the most rugged and raw which intrigues me most.

Each piece of seaglass has a history all its own.

Once discarded or lost, the broken pieces of what was

have spent decades - sometimes centuries - being tossed and smoothed by the waves.

​

And now, the motions of the tides have brought these pieces to our shores

to revive and repurpose and cherish anew.

​​

I hope you can find a sun-catcher that draws you to itself

bringing the mystery of its story to heart of your home.

​

(Other than cleaning, lightly oiling, copper-foiling and drilling the sea glass, I don't alter the pieces in any way from how I found them at the beach). ​​​​
