Lin and I hope you're having a good year going into the last months of 2014 (goes fast, doesn't it).

The weather remains unseasonably-cool where we are (definitely well into spring here); for you all in the N. Hemisphere, the trees are performing their color change that is really incredible and there is a crispness in the air.
 

Here's what you'll find below in this October 2014 edition of the Odyssey Sea Glass Newsletter.

• Winner of the September 2014 Sea Glass Photo Contest

Three Sea Glass and Beach Find Project Ideas

For your sea glass, sea pottery, sea shells, rocks, driftwood, etcetera.

by David at OdysseySeaGlass.com Footprints are a Popular Way to Use Your Driftwood and Beach Rocks

by David at OdysseySeaGlass.com Fish for Dinner! Here's a Happy Pebble Family We used driftwood, beach pebbles, and a dangly earring that Lin found on one of our walks to portray this family of happy fisher persons.

by David at OdysseySeaGlass.com Sea Glass Display Idea in Progress Since sea glass really needs backlighting to show its colors and shapes to the best advantage, we've been scratching our heads to come up with new ways to display our sea glass. This is a first attempt (Beta) at this particular idea using a 2 L water bottle, driftwood, and sea glass. Although a little rough and unfinished, we love the way it looks in our living room window. The above photo shows this project sitting on top of a more conventional "sea glass in bottle" display, and this photo has the added interest of a window across the street topping off the design  .
