Beachcombing is a truly amazing hobby and one woman from Canada found a way to turn it into an art form. Steph of Red Island Sea Glass is collecting sea glass and other trinkets off the coast of Canada, and she’s transforming them into jewelry and unique works of art.
Steph has been collecting sea glass and other treasures along the shores of Prince Edward Island for as long as she can remember. She even named her brand after this island, which earned itself this nickname because its soil is made up of reddish-colored sandstone.
Over the years, Steph collected quite an impressive assortment of the tiny treasures that were washed ashore on the local beaches, and she eventually decided to share them with the world.
“I have found every color of glass out there from the most basic colors green, white, and brown to some of the most rare red, orange, pink, yellow, and black. I’ve also found combo colors, fully intact bottles, bottle stoppers, and many beads, and marbles,” she explained on her Etsy page.
Steph initially started transforming found sea glass into jewelry, but she didn’t want the rest of her “treasures” to go to waste so she’s now also making everything from suncatchers to framed art.
