Willow and My Story on Collecting Seaglass.

2009-04-05T07:48:00.002-03:00

This is mine and Willow’s story; A tale in collecting seaglass along the sandy shores of Nova Scotia.

Willow found me on the long weekend of Sept 1 back in 2003 while I was camping. She was on the back of a truck with 9 other black labs pups. Her mother had stopped feeding them at 2 weeks so the humans looking after them were hand feeding them.
To start the story right I have to go back almost a year. I had a very much loved black lab named Shadow that passed away of cancer on Aug 8, 2002 just 2 days shy of her 10 birthday. She was our child that we couldn’t have and very spoiled. After battling cancer for several months, we sat down with the wonderful vets and made a very hard decision. It was a good one but hard one. I knew that while my heart was breaking, Shadow was a peace.
First thing I said was never again would I put my heart in danger of breaking. No more dogs.
Back to Willow story, that weekend, I knew the pups was there but totally avoided them. Until we were packing up and had to go down and ask a friend for help packing up the tent. As I went by the truck, the lady picked up a pup and put her in my arms. At first I got mad because I just didn’t want to deal with it. Within a few seconds I looked down and saw a little black cotton ball with the saddest biggest brown eyes looking back at me. I said nothing, put the pup back on the truck while the woman was telling me that they couldn’t look after them, there was too many to feed every two hours.
I left and started to walk back up the hill where my tent was, made it almost there. I ran back to the truck and grabbed the little cotton ball back as I was scared then that they would give her away before I had a chance to talk to my husband. With my head held low as I was trying not to cry and went to find my husband. I heard one of our friends say to him “yep, she’s got one.” Mike just said is that Willow? I said “how did you know what I was going to name her?” He replied “ don’t you realize that almost daily in the past year, you mentioned that we was never going to get another dog but if we did it would be a black lab female and I was going to name her Willow.”
I panicked about an hour later on the way home, realizing that I had a four week old pup in my arms and didn’t know what to feed her. After stopping to the store and calling my vets who was kind enough to answer his personal phone on a holiday, we had food for Willow.
Recipe for underage dogs – baby pabulum, egg whites, corn syrup. Mix it up until it’s a gooey mess. Now picture a black lab standing in a pie plate with this all over her. She learned to eat by cleaning herself but within a few days she got the hang of it. The next day we also got replacement milk from the pet store.
Wednesday we took her for a checkup to the vets. She weighted in at a whooping 4 lbs and was 4 weeks old. By Christmas she was a healthy 21 lbs and still growing.
Until then she slept in a clothes basket with a teddy bear that had a clock for a heart. I came home from work and Willow met me at the back door , tail a wagging with my motorcycle boot , slightly chewed, looking like she had a great day.
That’s when I started taking her to work with me. With the new experience and loads of people to play with, she snoozed most of the day away, curled up in her blanket. Which was great for a couple of months until one lunch time I discovered that a 6 month old dog can do a lot of chewing in a truck in a couple of hours. Leather does chew really well.
So we started a new program, walk in the morning, headed to the beach lunch time, walk in the evening.
The second time I took her to the beach, I noticed she had something in her mouth. After wildly chasing her around, she and I hadn’t mastered the sit or the come her part yet, I found she had a piece of glass. Yep, I panicked once again as I didn’t know if she had ate any. I had to follow her around for 24 hours to check her poop. Willow had eaten about 1 lbs of sand and no glass.
So when we went back, I immediately threw her ball in the water and I started to pick up the glass to put in the garbage. Which I did for about a week then I found the most amazing smooth piece of cobalt blue laying in the rocks. On the way home, I stopped to a friend’s house to show him what I had found. He took a quick glance at it and said “I see you found beach glass” and then told me the story behind it. I was truly amazed that the ocean, sand along with time could turn out a stunning gem that humans threw away.
That’s how Willow and I started to collect beach glass. Now 5 years later, we are still collecting seaglass and walking the wonderful beaches of Nova Scotia.
That’s our story, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed going back to the past and reliving on how Willow became my best friend and beach glass collecting partner.

I was stalked but in a good way

Wow , It's a winter freeze.

2008-12-22T10:51:00.003-04:00

Wow , last night it was snowing then it started to turn to rain. I thought that was the end of it. Woke up at 3.30 am to Pumpkin screaming that he just had to go out to no power , high winds and freezing rain. Power came back on at 9:30 am but the wind is still blowing so it could go back out. So in the dark this moring , I played around with my new camera and found out that it will take pictures without light . Interesting.

Brrrr , I can't believe that it was raining yesterday now we are in a full blizzard. No chance to get to the beach now, snow and ice has covered everything . Willow won't even go outside unless she really needs to.

A perfect yellow . It shows all the features of a true piece of beach glass or as some call it sea glass. The small C's , frost and pits in the glass. It does glow under a black light. It's a piece of Vaseline glass. A rare and valuable piece in my collection. I found this in the summer of 2008.

Legend of Mermaid Tears.

2008-04-22T20:19:00.000-03:00

The maidens could change the mighty course of nature, but were forbidden to do so by Neptune, the stern, watchful god of the sea.
One dark, storm-ravaged night, with sails ripping and masts cracking, a schooner fought to find safety in Friendly Cove off Nootka Island in the San Juans. The ship was familiar to the mermaid who swam along its side . . . she had weathered many crossings with the ship and its captain. As the ship heeled in the violent wind, the captain lost his hold on the wheel, tumbling perilously close to the raging sea. In an instant, the mermaid calmed the wind and tamed the waves, changing the course of nature and saving the life of a man she had grown to love from afar.
For her impetuous act, Neptune banished the sobbing mermaid to the oceans depths, condemning her for eternity never to surface or swim with the ships again. To this day, her gleaming tears wash up on the beaches of Nova Scotia as beach glass . . . crystalline treasures in magic sea colors, an eternal reminder of true love.

Some say that Mermaids cry when a sailor or fisherman is lost at sea. When their tears touch the sands on shore turn to all colors of the ocean.
Another is that a Mermaid can only come to shore on a full moon light night and as dawn comes , the tears fall into to the sand changing into glass as the thought of never being able to walk freely on land saddens them.

A custom necklace I did.

2008-03-28T16:56:00.001-03:00

This was done out of a very worn yellow marble. One of the first I found. I wire wrapped using sterling silver wire. I think it came out great.

It never going to warm up

2008-03-28T16:49:00.000-03:00

Willow and I tried going to the beach a couple of times in the last couple of weeks. It's either too cold , wind or it's snowing. Right now the tide is low and it's hailing out. Can't wait until spring arrives. I did go for a few minutes on Saturday . I found worn bricks and driftwood. I'm going to try and frame a mirror for my bathroom.

Colors of Beach Sea Glass

2008-02-09T07:02:00.000-04:00

Beach Sea Glass comes in all colors. It's only limited to what was thrown away at that beach.
Green , brown and white is the most common colors you will find . Most are pop bottles that people threw away after drinking.
Where there was a local garbage site , you know its where someone goes in the middle of the night and hopefully by morning the tide will have taken it out to sea so noone will know , you will find pottery , blues , pinks , purples,hopefully red as most of this came from plates and dishes found inside a house that would of gotton broken.
If you live near a town dump , where the town itself took all the garbage they collected and burned on the beach you can find unlimited colors and objects. This is where the word rare comes into play. Bottle stoppers , one of kind colors , marbles , orange can be found here.
In the 6 years of collecting , I have only found one true orange , 3 bright yellows. Some beaches that I have been on only has green and brown. Some have all colors.
There is also shades of colors. For example blue. There is robin , sky , cobalt ,cornflower,seafoam blue, and many more shades of blue.

Jewelry that I make out of authentic beach sea glass.

This is Willow , my beach sea glass partner. She is four and loves the water. Sometimes she even goes and get bigger pieces for me if they are way out there and I can't reach.

What to look when buying genuine beach sea glass.

2008-02-06T09:07:00.000-04:00

Characteristics of Beach Sea Glass
What to look for when buying genuine beach glass. A good close up picture will tell you everything you need to know.
Beach glass or sea glass may show one or all of this characteristics.Bigger pieces of beach glass may contain all of these characteristics while small pieces may only have one or two.
1.Small pits on the surface where sand and water has eroded away the glass.
2.A white look that we collecters call frost.
3.Small C's on the surface where it's been hit by rocks. This may be so small that you need to really look for them or big that you can see them from a foot away.
Beach glass is , simply put , glass that is found on a beach that has been worn by the waves and sand to form rounded pieces of jewels.Beach glass can be worn down many ways. Glass coming from a beach that has a heavy tide or surf and bigger rocks may show a lot of C's and frost. If picked up on a beach with a gentle surf and just sand the glass may look smoother , it just takes more time to wear down. I also find different kinds of glass wears different for example Vaseline glass I find wears smoother where glass from pop bottles are more rough and heavier frosty.
Where does beach glass come from? It all comes from human hands that discarded glass in or near a water source. Years ago communities burned their garbage on the banking , took it out to sea on boats to get rid of it and people just tossing bottles away never thinking that it would return to the beach. Yesterday's garbage is today's treasure.
The colors of beach glass.White ,brown and green is the most common to be found.Orange , a true yellow , red , purple , black and marbles are the rarest to find.Blues , dark greens and patteren pieces are in the middle.Some pieces are once in a life time find because it could just be that one fancy vase that got thrown way and one piece of it got pushed back up on shore.
Artificially tumbled glass usually is smooth to the touch , looks more chalky than frosty . It will be missing the pits and C's . Some will be rough and in chunks.
If you are not sure , ask the seller for more pictures if possible. Where was the glass found? Now , don't expect a map to the source but they should give you some general information.
My glass is found along the South Shore of Shelburne County , Nova Scotia , Canada in the Altantic Ocean.
