Sorting through a collection of seaglass from my sister.

@Tarnport @Hellybootwader yes!

@dillyd @meganL So gorgeous.

@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:

@dillyd So beautiful!

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.

@BrambleBearSnoring
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.

@tinker those are cute! I like the idea.

Lamp finials?

[dillyd@turtleisland.social]

@RealGene ooh that's a really interesting idea!

@jlperuyero @dillyd I thought of pear drops!

[dillyd@turtleisland.social]

@callunavulgaris @jlperuyero totally! With the texture especially!

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.

@dillyd what a potential jigsaw puzzle!

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!
