Anyway, I was going through my jars of beach glass:
looking for pieces to solder and a few dropped to the floor, where I left them because I was too lazy to get down from my chair and go look for them. So, later on Keith finds Buddy playing with this beach glass marble in the bathroom, where he likes to take things like this to play with because they clink against the walls and roll on the linoleum so well. I had forgotten about this marble, but this was quite a find, and the only beach glass marble I've ever seen, so I was glad that Buddy found it on the floor for me.
So, I go back to work and Keith is watching me from the doorway and says 'hey, there's another marble or something under the window bench', so I reach under the bench to see what it is, pick up something that's hiding against the baseboard, something that I can't see but can only feel, and it's something hard and brown, maybe a brown piece of beach glass, but no, it isn't a marble, it's a piece of PETRIFIED CAT POOP!
Ewwww.
This is one of my other most prized pieces of beach glass:
And, this is what I've been making with my beach glass.
These are beach glass combined with vintage paper glass charms:
And this one is made with the glass marble gems that are intended for vase fillers or whatever.
So, other than picking up petrified cat poop with my bare hands, it was a productive few days, and I've got lots of ideas swimming around in my head, now.

Cool things you have made!!!
Check out my friend Jorie's site for what she does with beach glass - http://www.oceansage.com/ - totally different than what you do, but some things might inspire you in diff ways. I will be coming home with lots of cool finds from Mexico - shells and beachcombing finds. Maybe you can get creative with some of that. See you soon!!!
You know, I have been on a lot of beaches but I have never seen one piece of beach glass.

My cats find stuff for me, too. Mostly they find stuff that they lost or stuff that really wasn't lost to begin with.
