I visualize a series of puzzles and try to imagine how these pieces will naturally fit together to form a unique piece of hair art or an eye-catching broach. The glass and pottery have stories of their own – best described in the Sea Glass Chronicles as “time capsules.” Whether cast overboard in a shipwreck or by tourists on the seas, these lovely and vanishing gems are about to start a new life…
