Sea Glass Hunt in Victoria BC

This is a video from back in 2012 when it was still pretty easy to find sea glass on the beach along Dallas road. I have not looked there in recent years but I can guess it won't be as plentiful since more and more people have sought it out! At any rate, I am sharing this here after ignoring my blog for several years! I hope you enjoy. If you liked this video, please subscribe to my YouTube channel! Gracias :*

Teal Sea Glass: My favourite of all

Teal is my all time ultimate favourite sea glass colour! The colour flows somewhere between green and aqua blue. It's a more rare find for me, and teal sea glass can often disguise itself against the pebbles as a stone. When not hit by direct sunlight, the colour seems to absorb the darker ground colour very well, especially when the glass is dry. I think that is why discovering teal sea glass is such a thrill for me. The challenge of discovering these rarities, makes the hunt that much more thrilling. When I look at my overall colour collection, teal sits in one of the smallest containers I have.

This summer, I upgraded my lavender sea glass into a larger container which was unexpected as I thought it was more rare than teal. I don't know what teal sea glass once was, do you? In this piece in particular, one person on Facebook said they saw the profile of a person's face. I could say I see the profile of a Mayan sculpture face. Having lived for several years on and off in the Riviera Maya, I recognized this iconic shape almost immediately. This piece is probably one of my larger teal finds. I very much welcome more teal sea glass into my life. So, what is your favourite sea glass colour? Please take the sea glass colour poll. I regretfully forgot to add teal to the list, but I am guessing that some might lump it either into the green or aqua category.

Welcome to my new Sea Glass blog

Greetings! Welcome to my sea glass blog. You can expect to see everything and anything related to sea glass! I have been an avid collector for several years now. I enjoy strolling on the beach, picking up the colourful glass and making it into beautiful art, jewellery and photographs!

To start us out, I am sharing a couple of photos I took about a month ago, along the west coast of Vancouver Island. The variety of vibrant colours, makes the mind wonder, just what these fragments used to be. My favourite colours are olive green, lavender, aqua and blue.
