I love the ocean. If I were ever to live somewhere other than London it would have to be a coastal town.
I also love sea glass. But as I don't live near an ocean I decided I'd spend this week trying to obtain the next best thing, tumbled glass. Hence the title of my post, the ersatz ocean I refer to is my tiny stone tumbler, which has finally come out of it it's box ten years after I bought it (long story involving an ex boyfriend who liked pebbles).
Initially I just wanted to make tumbled glass chips, but then I got the idea to try a whole jar, and so make a vase. I used an old curry paste jar, which is a lovely square shape with a long neck. It looked lovely all frosted.
To decorate it I marbled it using nail polish to create a crashing waves pattern. Overall I'm quite happy with the result. It's the first thing I've made for years.
