Thank you! I would be so touched if you did :) It's designed to be a book of photography & poetry that you can return to again and again, enjoying the beautiful metaphor of sea glass for our lives 💕
I love sea glass. I have got to get your lovely book. I looked it up. It will be nice gifting during the Christmas holidays. My birthday last year my daughter that lives in Maryland gave me a beautiful picture and the little dogs in the picture were made with Seaglass and then the tree behind them has Seaglass fruit. It was quite lovely.
Thank you so much, I was really hoping it would make a nice holiday gift :) The sea glass artwork sounds so beautiful - a lot of artists in this area are inspired to include sea glass in their art, and I always enjoy seeing what they come up with! Thanks for sharing :)
Greetings from your neighbor in New Brunswick, Canada:)
I just did some beach glass karma yesterday (Throwing back pieces I had previously picked up that weren't quite "cooked" or purging from 30+ years of collecting) and today found some beautiful pieces.
I can't seem to add a picture, but it was gratifying:)
Thank you, and nice to meet you! That's a great idea, we often throw back pieces at the shore when we decide they're too "fresh" 🤣, and I'll definitely remember that when it's time to reduce our collection one day. It's true, Substack doesn't let us load images into comments - but if you post them in Notes and tag me I'll see it :)
Congratulations on the launch of your new book! Your connection to the beach and love for collecting sea glass has inspired a beautiful blend of poetry and mood. I can already sense the depth and uniqueness of each piece through your words. Wishing you much success with this collection.
Sea glass is so cool! It reminds me of the line from one of my favorite musicians, Sleeping At Last “I guess space and time takes angry things, violent things and makes them kind.”
The photos of the sea glass and the light-infused images made me feel a sense of lightness and peace. What an exquisite pairing of these visual treats and your poetry! Thank you for inviting me here so I can partake in moments by the seaside even though I'm no where near the ocean.
Thank you, I'm so glad you like them! I definitely try to capture the way the glass holds the sunshine inside, it's one of the most fascinating aspects of its particular beauty :)
So true! We have a family rule "If you find a blue, it's ice cream for everyone!" We still find at least one blue nearly every trip to Sandy River Beach, Jonesport, though, so that's a treat. The very first time I went to Jasper Beach, I found a piece of sea glass right at the top of the dune - and then never again! 🤣 Have you found sea glass there?
What a beautiful concept. Might be picking up a copy of your book.
"A place of honor to remind
the broken and the left behind
that we will yet emerge refined,
a treasure for the world to find"
So special.

This is so gorgeous Sydney. The word and the pictures combined make it so extra special. So lovely to have connected with you 🤍🩵
Thank you so much! So glad to have connection with you too :)

I'll try my best! Beach glass is as technical as I get and you know how long that takes...
Love these!
Thank you!

Thank you! So lovely to hear the "feel" of sea glass came across for you. Thanks for the encouragement!

Oooh, that's a good lyric, and a very good connection with sea glass, thanks for sharing!

Such wondrous beauty it is! Thanks for opening my eyes to it!
This is beautiful!!! Congratulations!!!
Thank you, and thanks for re-stacking!
Blue sea glass has become harder to find every passing years. You hit the jackpot!
PS: have you ever hunted for sea glass at Jasper Beach?
So true! We have a family rule "If you find a blue, it's ice cream for everyone!" We still find at least one blue nearly every trip to Sandy River Beach, Jonesport, though, so that's a treat.

Sydney, I love that you have created a book of with your beautiful sea glass photos and poetry! What a wonderful idea. Your photos are beautiful!
Thank you so much!
I love sea glass. We find “Great Lakes” glass here on the shores from time to time. Congratulations on your book...going to take a peek at it now!
Yes, I've read about the Great Lakes glass, too, so cool! Thanks for checking it out, and I hope you like it :)
So glad you liked it! Sea glass is very soulful :)
