Sea Glass Odyssey
Sea Glass... "It
happened late one afternoon. I had been walking slowly along the shore
near my mother's house on the Chesapeake Bay looking for beach treasures...
Wanting to make one last trip down the small beach, I turned around and wow!!!
Tumbling up the beach pushed by a small wave was an orange piece of sea glass!
I couldn't believe it at first. Then I started jumping up and down. I
just had to run home and show it to everybody...",
The Thrill of the Hunt
Have you experienced the thrill of finding a deliciously-frosty and
perfectly-tumbled piece of sea glass? Although most are not orange,
each piece is an exciting find in itself. Perhaps you have wondered:
You'll find
the answers right here.
Here's what happened to me and why I decided to write about sea glass:
Like many of you, my "Sea Glass Odyssey" began quite a few years ago.
While enjoying walks on the shore, first on Lake Erie and later on
various Atlantic and Pacific beaches, I began picking up sea glass
(also known as beach glass).
Then as time went by, I found myself really getting excited and even
hooked on finding more rare and exotic pieces.
Not only was I beginning to want to spend more and more
time actually looking for sea or beach
glass, but at
the same time I was trying to figure out some way of using it
creatively. So I started searching the Internet for more information.
However, when I began to research sea glass, I couldn't really find what I was
looking for, such as what colors are the rarest, where could I find
unusual beach or sea glass, and what could I do with my growing
collection.
I'm still learning and discovering new things all
the time. On
the pages of this site, you'll find the answers to the above questions
and much more. My husband David writes much of the material found here,
but relies heavily not only on my experience but also on the excellent
contributions of many of you sea glass fans.
If you've had the same kinds of questions, I
know that you'll find these 250 plus pages of information that
we have put together very interesting and
useful!
To start, scroll down on this
page to preview some of the topics or main areas of

Of course,
with all the harder-to-find pages on this site, you
might also want to search for
specific information using the search box below,
It will show you all our pages that refer to the specific word or
phrase you are looking for. For example, try

here:
If you
entered 'red' you see that there are over 10 pages talking about red
beach glass.
Even more
fun is to participate
in sharing your thoughts and ideas, crafts and photos,

Happy hunting on your Sea
Glass Odyssey,!
