My Sea Glass Window

by Mona
(Maine)

Sea Glass Crafts Window Hanging

Sea Glass Crafts Window Hanging

Here is a picture of my seaglass window that I thought you might enjoy. Some of the pieces are worn more then others.

The light shines through it. I have it hanging in my sun room.

I can't take all of the credit. My husband makes the frames for me.

I use Plexiglas for the background and then I glue the pieces of seaglass on with E6000.

You have to use Plexiglas because if you try gluing them on regular glass, the glass will crack from the weight of the seaglass.

It took me a few attempts to find this out.

I am glad you like it.

Mona

hi Mona,

Your window is just lovely! This time of year in mass. it's hard to be outside much, but you have inspired me to get back to work with my seaglass. . I've made jewelry along with frames using seashells, pottery and seaglass.

Think I could hire your husband to make a frame?

Thanks,
MaryAnne

I don't stain the glass. This is all natural the way I found it on the beach.

How do you stain seaglass? What do you use? I have so many whites and would love to stain them cobalt blue or red even though that would sort of "cheating".

Hi Mona, I also have been doing windows for years now. One of my favorite spots for collecting is Monhegan island. I cant believe there are two of us. Best of luck there. Beautiful! Joanne from Jersey

by: sickitten.com

And you can perfectly stain the beach glass. I've made the windows. One all natural and one where I stained the clear and light aqua pieces cobalt blue and dark aqua. Will post pictures on this site by Monday. I used glass epoxy to apply the glass, perfectly and seamlessly. I lucked out and found a beach just loaded with well worn, odd colored glass. A dream!
