Yep, the fun crossover from DIY skills to craft skills!

This is pretty much the first thing i’ve ever made, beyond some practice scraps. For me it’s just a fun hobby rather than a side hustle. Full of respect for professional artists & crafters - I couldn’t do their job!

#MondayMirror - a textured bit of seapottery on a very reflective seaglass bottle bottom #beachcombing

A roughly rectangular shard of white pottery with a delicate blue flower & leaf, slightly raised pattern. It rests on a dark green glass bottle bottom which is flat on one edge and curved on the other

It is stained glass! It’s a lead free solder for safety but otherwise the same technique as stained glass or Tiffany glass making

Thank you! I need to find a lot more full bottle bottoms to start using up my stash 😅

Shorelarking @shorelarking.bsky.social · 3d

#SundayShells - throwback to #Beachcombing in Tasmania 2 years ago

Three grey/brown shells in a line on a grey and white rock, the colours all part if a similar tonal palette. Two of the shells are snail-like clockwise whorls, the third is an abalone or similar turned upside down to show glimmers if grey-blue iridescence

#MondayMetal obligatory “foot for scale”. An axel? Car or truck or boat part? #Beachcombing

A large and rusted metal object aming lrge beach rocks and stones. a circular rim approximately 30-40com across, judging by the brown walking boot next to it, with a c.20cm tall thick central tube or spoke.

#SaturdayShard - yes I should have posted yesterday but what can I say, I got distracted by the world. Love the argyle(?) pattern on this one #Beachcombing

A roughly rectangular shard of sea worn pottery, with a pattern of black diamond shapes and blue triangles separated by white lines. It lies on dark wet pebbles.

The one thing I've learnt in all this beachcombing is how often the whole object isn't anything like you imagined it to be. I did find a terrible video of it though!

#TuesdayTopple - it wobbles but it won’t fall down. Maybe just the bottom corner of a bottle? #Seaglass #Beachcombing

A piece of very frosted white seaglass, it is dome shaped, resting on its curved bottom and has a central hole or divot. It’s balanced on a piece if driftwood, on a shelf or table , a shell, pinecone and flower blurry in the background

The same dome shaped white seaglass flipped over to show its curved bottom
