This summer my Mom, cousin and I went to Maine. I discovered the addictive activity of searching for sea glass. I came home with quite a collection of all sizes.....
I decided to make a little some out of these pieces, so I went on the hunt of a way to create jewelry. I saw quite a few different styles on the roads in New England, but I wanted to display some of my favorite pieces (the blue) in a necklace for my Mom's upcoing birthday. I only had very tiny pieces of the blue. After hunting down lockets, I found that most of the lockets out there only have enough room for a little piece of paper, but I found this company via a childhood friend of mine called
Origami Owl. Truly, just letting you know b/c I love it and not because I get anything for saying I love it....
You can buy all sorts of charms to go inside, or to attach to the necklace, but I just bought a medium locket and I filled it with the sea glass. I heart it.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy family used to go to Maine every year. Never was lucky enough to find any seaglass though. That necklace is gorgeous! I love the idea of putting something besides a picture in a locket. I might have to get one for the tiny seashells we have from our trip to Galveston this summer.
