I was happy to come across this deck of Sea Glass cards that helps me understand what types of bottles, bowls and other containers some of the sea glass I find probably came from.

  1. Hi Sherry, could we use part of this article on OdysseySeaGlass.com with a nice clear link to your website and attributing it to you? Let me know what you think. I love the photos and comments!

  2. Sherry,
    Thank you for sharing about the sea glass cards. They’re pretty cool. I didn’t know about these, and they would make a great gift for a sea glass enthusiast. Your pics are very interesting and your jewelry is beautiful. I particularly like the pieces that look like coral, and the ones that are irregular and bumpy. Happy jewelry making and may your new year be prosperous. Fair Winds and Calm Seas, Deborah Leon http://www.mermaidspurseseaglass.com
