Jamaica beachcombing finds: urchins, sea glass, small pebbles and shells. There are amazing coral pieces also, but I am not sure if there are regulations against taking them out of the country.
I consider looking for bits and pieces some of the happiest moments of my life. God is so good to me!
For anyone interested in the power of “GOOP” glue, I’m including an update on other items I’ve used in my creations using Goop as the glue. Once again, I created a mobile, this one with my grandsons, and used Goop exclusively for the bonding. As in the directions for the Sea Glass Mobile, see Part I and Part II, I used fishing line and hemp twine for hanging and stringing.
The collage shows glass, stone, wood, nut and shells bonded together with goop. This is a great project to make with children using collections they’ve gathered from nature. A little bit of goop will even hold items with a bit of weight. (See top photo of small whelk shell)
My youngest grandson recently turned one year old. For the birthday celebration his mother created these ivy bowls as centerpieces with shells, glass pebbles and starfish. I think they are lovely and elegant. I am happy to have one to keep as a remembrance of the day.
