Hi. This is wonderful. I noticed in your garden pic that you seem to have a wonderful sense of balance in your lines and shapes. Thanks for sharing that with us! :) I have a question, please: If someone were to make this out of sterling silver, do you know what the cost would be. Or perhaps if you don't know, can you advise the rough weight of the metal you used? If that's not available, how much does the bracelet weigh, please? Sadly I'm allergic to everything but sterling, gold and surgical steel, and the last is too shiny for my taste, plus it's shine might overwhelm the gentle sea glass. Oh! (hehe) Another question, please: Where do you GET sea glass ? Can you buy it? Thanks so much!! :)

You may buy sea glass although it is soooooooooo much nicer and fun to take a picnic lunch to the shore, walk to beach and collect your own. Great walk for the dog also if you have one!!

Sterling silver can cost anywhere from 9.99 to 30.00 depending on the gauge you use. you want to use at least 20 gauge maybe 22, though it maybe too soft. So 20 might be better, hence costing more money. Though the amount that you are actually using one the stone is not a lot, I think it might be about 10 inches but then ou will be a silver necklace as well, to go with the look. Sea glass, you can buy in a craft store, or just go to your local beach and start digging, you would be surprised how much you will find!

since your supplier isn't able to supply the bracelet, could you improvise using metal blanks? I know FireMountain sells them in various shapes and metals and I am sure other distributors must also. A metal punch would make it possible to attach as you have done or with other connectors, links, etc. I think I will try it and I recommend the effort to you. It is really a lovely bracelet and would work with all sorts of stones.

I have learned to make my own because I don't like the bulk of the beach glass sold in craft stores. I use a tumbler and I fill it with beach sand and salt water (real ocean water) and I tumble pieces of colored glass until they have that worn-smooth texture and - voila- beach glass! It takes several days of tumbling, but it is worth the time and effort because then the fragments are authentic, at least as much as art can make them.

I love this bracelet! I live along the east coast so I've always looked for sea glass when I go to the beach, I especially love finding green glass it seems to be more rare then the frosted white pieces! I make mainly beaded jewelry but looking at your work I've been thinking about doing something with my glass. I was wondering, what glue is best for this kind of work? I always have a hard time finding something that's permanent! Thanks! :)

ctmeg

Apr 14, 2012

I have found E-6000 to be a strong adhesive or any other glass to glass or glass to metal glue. But you must be sure to let it cure over several days. I usually will reinforce a glued piece with wire.

I love making jewelry, but I'm no where near as skilled as this. I have to ask because this is really really pretty. After reading some of the other post, I'm taking it you have glued pieces on top of pieces, along with the wire as well, is that true? & Is there a special glue you use, also how did you get the holes in the glass?? Sorry I don't mean to ask to many questions, but I would love to create something like this.

ctmeg

Mar 06, 2012

Flag as inappropriate

The glass is glued to the silver squares. The wire has been free formed around the glass and the bracelet to further secure the glass. The wire is not glued. There are no holes in the glass. It is just as it was found on the beach and hasn't been altered in any way. I hope this answers your questions and thank you for your comment. :)

What is Sea Glass and how is it formed?

ctmeg

Mar 05, 2012

Flag as inappropriate

Sea glass is glass that was tossed into the oceans. It is tumbled around in the waters by the natural wave action to the point where it is very smooth with rounded edges. It becomes frosted with this tumbling action along with the natural elements in the water and sunlight. It can take many, many years to produce a shard of beauty. There is something very mysterious about sea glass....where has it traveled, what original item did it come from and how old is a particular piece of glass. There is an excellent book titled, "Pure Sea Glass" that would answer any other questions you may have.

Yes, I am very fortunate to live by the sea. :) Thank you for you comment but a word to the wise.......what is called "sea glass" at Pier One and Michaels is just glass that has been tumbled. Please don't confuse that with genuine sea glass that only Mother Nature can transform.

Beach glass is getting harder and harder to find. I have wrapped a lot of it but would love to do the swirls and circles. How do you do that?

ctmeg

Yes it is getting more and more difficult to find. Many more people are aware of its popularity, its beauty and its scarcity. I use either a crochet hook or a knitting needle because I have them around.

I'm new to wire wrapping and haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet. Do you have any advice for beginners for technique and materials best suited for this craft?

ctmeg

Oct 28, 2011

Flag as inappropriate

The best advice I can give you is to practice with some copper wire that you can get in a hardware store. It is less expensive and it is softer to wrap with in the learning process. Then practice, practice, practice. If using sea glass the piece will "talk" to you and you will learn where to wrap the wire so it will hold tightly. I use non-tarnish silver artistic wire because it makes my line affordable and I will rewrap if not happy with it. When using sterling I find I would waste too much and it is too expensive to waste.

To lunashell....in regards to your comment below......the seaglass I use is genuine hand picked glass from the many beaches/areas I travel to. It does not come from Michaels. That is tumbled, broken craft glass. The pieces I find are as pure as I find them. They have a history and are very old to have become so worn from the sea, the salt and the wave action. They are not altered in any way.

It was hard when I first started working with wire. But with practice it has become easier to hold the glass and wrap.. Of course, some pieces of glass or more difficult to wrap that others due to their shape.

Honestly, I don't have any set instructions. I just take a piece of wire and wrap it/bend it in a freeform style....taking on a different design each time. I would suggest that you practice, practice, practice with inexpensive copper wire when first beginning to get the feel for the wire.
