I have been busy with the Dremel. I’ve drilled easily over 100 pieces now. What I have learned:
- Patience is a good thing. Do not force the bit. Take it easy. I broke four bits before realizing this. It might take you a bit longer to drill a piece, but your bits will last longer and that will save you money.
- Drilling is zen-like. Honestly, I enjoy drilling the glass. It takes my mind off of everything. I find it very calming.
- Jewelry supplies ain’t cheap!
- Searching for jewelry supplies is very time consuming! I scour Etsy, Ebay and Artbeads.com for jewelry supplies. Fun, but time consuming!
- Photographing sea glass jewelry is very time consuming! But it’s a riot!
Here are a few of my latest pieces:

Very nice stuff. I have tubs of sea glass from collecting for years. I have recently retired, and would like to start making jewelry. Where do you get the silver supplies for making pendants and earings?

I am very interested in your jewelry, but where are the prices? “Sold” doesn’t do it for me!
