Recycled Beach Glass Sun Catcher Wind Chime

This is one of my latest sun catchers / wind chime made with beautiful, genuine beach glass pieces that we picked from the shores of the Chaleur Bay, New Brunswick, Canada. 

Each piece of sea glass has been worked as a piece of stained glass (Tiffany method).  I used pieces of recycled copper to add fun whimsical designs between the glass.  The gem-like, multi-colored strands dangle from a very unique, green glass triangle that I made from a recycled wine bottle. 

This piece is very unique and is a one of a kind creation.  What a wonderful gift for anyone who loves sea glass and the beach.  See more of my creations here

New Gold Shawl Pin Hat Pin is Awesome!

This 14k gold-filled shawl pin looks so good on a chunky cowl! You can use it on a turtleneck, on your scarf, on your hat, chunky sweater or as a shawl pin. What I really love about it is the beautiful, green glass is made from a wine bottle that I've upcycled by breaking it and fusing the glass pieces at very high temperature until the glass forms this cute bubble cabachons. This great fall, autumn accessory is so versatile and classy with a touch of flair for the woman who dares to be different! Read more about this gorgeous piece by clicking here.

New Soap Dishes - Recycled Bottle Bottoms

Check out these cute little soap dishes made with the bottom part of a wine bottle. Creating with recycled bottle glass is one of my favorite things! I love the idea of taking an item that is otherwise seen as a piece of refuse and turn into a practical and beautiful item. These recycled wine bottle bottoms are awesome! Each one is different according to the designs on the bottom of the bottles. These little dishes can also be used to display your favorite candle or use these little beautiful to hold your rings, or your favorite collection of beach glass or beach stones. There are so many applications for these. Click here to see more info. Go to my etsy shop here.

Beach Glass Bottle Stopper Unique and Handmade

Combing beaches in search of sea glass, unique beach stones and sea shells is definitely a long standing tradition seen around the world and it is no different in our area.  Every day there seems to be someone walking up and down the seashore, head directed downward as a hound dog would his nose, ready to sniff out that rare, beautiful gem.  My husband and I were no exception to that rule; we took advantage of any opportunity we had to rush down to the beach and just couldn't wait for the competition to begin.  That's right, everything's a competition with my husband.  He was determined to find the rarest red, or better yet, the king of colors:  orange.  As we strutted up and down the beach, my husband way ahead as he was rushing to be the all time winner, we discovered beautiful pieces of colored gems waiting to be found, waiting to shine in all their glory in some unique piece of jewelry, or perhaps a something completely new.

Being the person that I am, I couldn't just make jewelry with my newly found treasures.  My mind kept searching for some new application, something different that hasn't been seen before, something completely different.  Seeing that I had learned the art of fusing glass, I tried to apply the technique to my beach glass, which I think worked out quite nice.  Because of the different glass pieces being incompatible to each other (something you learn when you work with glass - it's important to use glass that work together, that are compatible), it's pretty much trial and error.  Below you will see an example of one of the new applications I found for beach glass:  Beach Glass Wine Bottle Stopper, which make great hostess gifts.  These are unique gifts for him or gifts for her.  You may check out my Etsy Shop for more glass creations such as more sea glass creations, recycled wine bottle designs and more.

Celtic Knot Sun Catcher Recycled Wine Bottle

You'll find a very unique and completely different sun catcher in my Etsy Shop - I decided to try something different by combining my different techniques and I came up with this original idea.  I had to slice the bottle and place the glass in such a way that made them overlap each one and then I proceeded to heating them at a very high temperature until they fused into one unique piece.  I drilled and added hammered copper curls and enhanced with colored glass beads.  The overall piece turned out really nice, I think.  It would look awesome in the garden, on the patio or in your window.  It's rugged and tough enough to be outside.  Click here to see more info.  (((((((( Treasure Hunt Sale until the end of December - Save up to 40% - Read about it in my Etsy Shop Annoucements )))))))) **** I will combine promos with coupons for extra savings - Limited Time****

Recycled Bottle Glass Picture Frames Green

A few years ago, in an attempt to recycle wine bottle glass, I came up with the idea of making various glass home decor items with the discarded, bottle glass.  I came up with a few designs that really turned out quite nice and I think you will enjoy it as well.  I sell these particular picture frames mostly as gifts for those who appreciate everything handmade and for those who appreciate wine as well.  

Each frame is a labour of love.  With much patience I must assemble each piece together as a jigsaw puzzle and fuse them at  a very high temperature in order for them to become one solid piece.  These picture frames are my unique creation.  They're classy and elegant and they make great gifts for him or her.  Click here for more information.

New Recycled Bottle Bottom Dishes Made in New Brunswick

I just added to my Go-Green Collection by making a series of fused glass soap dishes/ candle holders out of recycled bottle bottoms.  These are an awesome collection; they are definitely conversation pieces.  These dishes can also double as coaster, men or women's jewelry dish, paperclip holder for your desk,  votive- holder, candle/pillar holder.  I've also made a couple of deeper dishes which can easily hold sauces, pot-pourri and that sort of thing. 





Each bottle bottom is a unique item, reflecting the lines and curves in that particular bottle.  The colors always depend on the color of the bottle, naturally, but these here vary from beautiful, emerald green, light olive to deep olive. 

You can see these new items in my Etsy store.
