Sea Glass Drilling and Kits

Did you know that I have a free sea glass drilling tutorial on my website?  It even has a link to a video (sort of armature, seeing how my young daughter shot the film, still helpful though).

I love being able to drill my own sea glass, shells and stones.  It has opened a whole new world for me.

I am selling some kits of seaglass and drill bits at a discounted price on my facebook page this week.

To drill sea glass you will need:

a cordless dremel
diamond drill bits
pencil
cross lock pliers (you can hold it with your fingers too, some people prefer that)
collet to fit the bits (mine I sell use 1/16")
sea glass
water
a dish to drill in with water in it

The kit only has two diamond tip drill bits (the ones I use and love) and sea glass-jewelry quality, in a variety of sizes and shapes and colors.  The rest is up to you.  Each 2x3" bag is filled with pieces! They are usually $25 per bag, but will be only $15 each this week.  You don't get to pick which bag you get, but they are all great with nice pieces for your jewelry creations.

ALL SEA GLASS IS GENUINE AND JEWELRY GRADE

I am also selling supplemental bags - regularly $20 each- of just sea glass, no drill bits, and they will be only $15 each (plus shipping, details on facebook).  These are great prices for jewelry grade sea glass!!!  

The winter is my favorite time to drill- since I am indoors more, it is fun to pull out my summer treasures and create things with them.

Take advantage while you can!  Supplies are limited!

Look at the fun you can have with drilling your own glass!

September Jewelry

I spent September recovering from Bead Fest, and prepping for a couple shows, one of which is a sea glass festival on LBI (where I was last weekend).

I am finally getting around to posting some pics of my new work.  I have another show next weekend, but hopefully will be able to list some after that.  I am so bad and taking and editing pics.....not my favorite thing to do, and like this, it is often really behind schedule.

 

Many of these are sold already, that is how behind I am.  anyhow, enjoy!  I really had fun making this round of jewelry.  I got the chance to use a lot of beads that didn't sell at beadfest.  Man, was it fun to have so many beads to choose from!  I usually don't have much inventory through the year. 

 

  

I will be making some more in the next couple weeks as well.  I am really low on earrings and bracelets.  First, I need to make more metal clay components for them!!!
