Chicky Bear-Tara says:Beautiful pick. Wish I had some real sea glass. I like to make fairies out of sea glass for my mother in law!

Chicky Bear-Tara says:I don’t, but it’s real easy! Pick a piece of glass for the body. It can be any shape at all, but I prefer sort of triangle shapes that are narrow at the top, wider at the bottom. So that it kind of looks like a dress. Then, you take some kind of thick wire. Two pieces and depending on the size of your dress. One piece you want to bend in half and then bend little feet on the two open ends. The second, form a circle for the head in the center of the wire and then twist the wire at the base of the circle two or three times, leaving two longer ends. The twist is the neck, the longer ends the arms. Bend the ends so they go forward a little, like arms. Get some thinner wire…can be colored, silver, gold…whichever you prefer, and hold the legs and the head and arms onto the back of the glass piece and wrap the thinner wire around the two wire pieces and the glass to hold the wire pieces onto the back of the glass. You can attach some more thin wire to the head for hair…curly, kinky, straight and fashion wings and attach to the back. I like to take a piece of wire, fold it in half and twist from the fold, leaving the two ends free. Then, you have a little stick with the ends and you can bend the ends out to form a Y. Then, you can bend the ends around or leave them as a Y for the wings. You can slip the straight twisted part of the why behind the wires you wrapped the head/arms and legs to hold it. There’s your fairy made of sea glass!

Mayan Chick - Lilly says:Nice pick. The green fluorite does look like glass.
Tara, the fairy is so cute. You are so creative. Sounds like a neat project. I have some stones i found at the beach last year. Maybe this could be a new project for me. Thanks!!
