Sea Glass Wall Art

Dear Chicago House,

Isn't it lovely how other bloggers can give you ideas. After seeing Karah's huge stash of sea glass this week (look at the glass vessel next to the TV) I was inspired to create something with the box of treasure I have collected over the years in a quest to create some art work for your newly painted office.


I took some thick water color paper, a pot of modge podge and started sticking



Two shadow boxes from Ikea later and I have at last done something with my sea or beach glass. Just waiting to get all the other art work done before I hang it on the wall.

And what is sea glass without an arty shot.


I might be over 1000 miles from the sea but I have a little reminder soon to be hung on my walls.

Love From

  4. What a great idea! I love collecting beach glass. Did you "paint" the entire paper with modge podge before sticking on the glass, or just adhere each piece individually? I'm going to try this. Thanks for the inspiration!
