What is Seaglass ?
Do you know what is beach/seaglass?
Imagine a story, 90 years ago.
Your great grandmother used a face cream that came in a white milky glass jar or a perfume that came in a fancy glass bottle. Or imagine your great grandfather was prescribed an antacid(medicine), that came in a dark blue bottle. Or imagine a vintage car he drove had red glass cover ( not a plastic one we have now LOL) over its rear lights.
What do you think happened to these bottles when they got empty?
Porbably your great grandparents threw them in the trash.
What happened to that trash?
It was likely collected by the municipality and dumped in the sea. Right ?
Then what?
Some of these glass bottles may have got broken in the process, or even left intact-but they all tumbled in the sea waves for decades or even centuries- till one day some of it was thrown back on the beach, and it got stuck with the pebbles, and could not go back with the waves.
How do you imagine this glass would look like now?
The salty water waves, with sand, other solids in it over years and years churn glass pieces into smooth pebbles, with frosty surface. This is seaglass.
And some of us beachcombers collect them from the beaches and make art out of this seaglass.
Wasnt that a beautiful story? Cheers !
