New sea glass bracelets

I have just listed four new sea glass bracelets on etsy, my newest 'seasons' series.

Each bracelet is made with sea glass in color tones matching the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each one is a labour of love, but worth every minute of my work.

First I have to sort through my sea glass collection, looking for the right colors, size and shapes. Then I drilled a hole in each of them. I think about the design everyday and even dream about them, wondering what chain, crystals and semiprecious stones go best with them.
Then I have to visit the shops and buy the supplies. Then I sit down and get started.

It took me about 2 hours to finish each bracelet, but the time spend for the work behind is much much more.

This is my favorite, what's yours?

    All those bracelets are so pretty! Like you I think I like the spring one best.

    By the way the photos you take for your Etsy listings are AWESOME!

    I actually like the other three a bit more than the spring one... although I'm not a big pastel fan. This one:

    i like the spring bracelet also - but the china blue is my favorite bracelet. My 12 yr old daughter collects beach glass - i'll have to show her your shop and your blog. maybe she'll be inspired by your work.

    I love the Winter bracelet. Gradients of blue are very soothing for me and sea glass is just inherently serene in shape and color. Your work is amazing.
