Sorting through a collection of seaglass from my sister. She's the one who makes the seaglass suncatchers. These teardrop shaped pieces feel really special. I'm not sure what to do with them.
Beautiful. If it were me, I would put them in a pretty dish like candy, and keep them where I could fondle them, look at them, enjoy them. Or in a dish of sand. A grown-up sensory box. Maybe with small plant, or tea light or votive candle holder and candle?
I bet if you practice with regular glass you could drill holes in the teardrop ones to make pendants you could where and touch when you feel like it.
Whatever you decide, would love to see pics.

Nice ideas! I've had them in a crystal candy dish since I brought them home. Today I put the teardrop shapes in a pretty ceramic dish that someone just gave me. -
@dillyd - I like the idea of pendants for necklaces or earrings (depending on size and weight).
Instead of drilling a hole, you could fashion a simple wire trellis that wraps around them. Use a soft metal wire in whatever color or metal you like. Still lets the tear drop show through and you'd attach the wire to the necklace or hook instead of attaching the necklace and hook through the glass itself.
See attached for some ideas:
@tinker those are cute! I like the idea.

I don't know if it is possible to drill a hole in them, but they look fine for a necklace. Somehow they look like jelly beans to me.@jlperuyero @dillyd I thought of pear drops!

I love sea glass artwork. At the moment, it's all that's hanging on my walls.

Took another photo later in the day with natural light. Not even bright sunshine, because it was cloudy, but natural. What a difference.

What an amazing collection of colors!Years ago my sister made me some earrings from sea glass she collected (2 small pieces for each earring, white and light green). I'll have to find them and post a photo!

I'd love to see them. I'm still contemplating what to do with mine. I've posted a few photos of the suncatcher my sister made for me. Last time I saw her in person, she brought me a bunch so I could make stuff of my own.

https://turtleisland.social/@dillyd/115939128052891103@dillyd Beautiful suncatcher!
You have so many large pieces, much larger than the small pieces used in my earrings. Hope you find a good use for all that lovely glass!

How tireless Mother Nature and her daughter, the sea, are. We send them junk and they send us back little gems.

@nyquildotorg isn't it a General Strike, not just nurses?
But, even if it were just nurses, "stop killing us" is a reasonable demand.
-
Can someone explain to me the logic behind a nationwide nurse strike protesting people getting shot? I feel like I must be missing something, because normally a strike is meant as leverage against the organization most impacted by the strike. In the case of nurse strikes, the companies that own the hospitals are the target, with the demands being better pay or better hours or better equipment or whoever.
But nurses striking because people are getting shot by the government doesn't feel like there's any leverage at all.
What am I missing?
