Five die in Sea Glass disease outbreak.
OdysseySeaGlass.com -A report received this week from other concerned persons listed a family of five "as if dead" to the rest of the world because of constantly being away from home down at the beach.
Can you avoid the same fate? Only time will tell...
Now - The latest from Odyssey Sea Glass newz and chatzWINNER! --- Jennifer wins the photo of the month for November and gets front page right on Odyssey ----
Now a few notes from main editor and
office boy, David Schneider:
Los
Organos, Peru Lots of sand covers the sea glass until the waves and currents begin uncovering it |
Here in Northern Peru, the weather is the same as usual. Beautiful! Not too hot yet (80 F) and sunny.
At this time of the year, there is a lot of sand. As a result, almost zero sea glass can be found. It is all covered up with 3-5 feet of sand.
Now, at the end of "winter", the sand gets eaten away, eventually down to the bedrock...and the sea glass treasures. This photo shows why some beaches have excellent sea glass hunting part of the year... and zero at other times - the sand covers and uncovers it..
 Ice Berg Blue with "M" |
| Even so, here is a
piece of craft grade but nicely colored sea glass I found
lying right
on top of acres of sand...all by itself. It seemed lonely and suffering from the sun, so I took it home to care for it.. |
So, what do you do when the beach is covered with many feet of sand and you just don't find any sea glass? Take photos of course!
 Tide Pool, Los Organos, Peru |
Like this one of a tide pool on the point. Usually, the tide pools are in the middle of just barren rocks, but as you can see, at this time of the year, the pools have a nice floor of sand.
Great for kids!
Now - A word from the boss and assistant
shopkeeper, Lin Schneider
Howdy all,
I know we mentioned last time about showcasing Signe Lawson's jewelry.Since that time, Signe has a few more new pieces up on the site, so be sure to check them out. Her jewelry is stupendous.
We're in the midst of getting Joan Laverick's beautiful English sea glass jewelry up.
Joan has been a busy little bee lately, so be patient; it will be well worth your while.
I will be having new jewelry up sometime soon from my latest linje designs line.Give
the perfect gift! for Odyssey Sea Glass Jewelry and more! |
The sending from here gets kinds of complicated not to mention expensive, so we're still working on that.
That jewelry should be up on the site sometime in January. Too late for all you guys doing major shopping right now but for the future. Don't forget we've got the gift certificate arrangement in place now as well.
More mistakes than anything but it's all a learning process, so nothing lost except cut fingers, wrists hurting, and my nails now a pretty gruesome sight.
The beach is really starting to go at the point, way more rocks now (see David's comments above). Nothing spectacular in the way of sea glass, but we have found some really nice shells and coral. We love the walk. One never knows what will turn up.
Hope all is well. Stay safe and be happy.
Lin
