Question 1

What do you do with all the stuff you find on the beach?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things!
Sometimes I keep it in the jars just to look at or organise in my free time. 
I also make things with it. Treasure Jars, earrings, pendants, badges (brooches), framed art pieces... all sorts of stuff. You can check out my shop and see if I have anything available at the moment.
I also like to sort the smaller pieces into even smaller jars for eventual display, or so they can just sit around my house and I can look at them.

Question 2

How do you display your beach finds?

Accepted Answer

At the moment it's all a bit higgledy piggledy because I am in the middle of moving house. Some of it is in its original jars on shelves, some of it is organised into a drawer system sorted by colour, some is in plastic tubs in my jewellery toolboxes, a LOT of it is in EVEN SMALLER tiny glass jars, currently living in an old chocolate box tray. I am hoping to have a studio space soon where I can dedicate a display unit for it.

Question 3

How do you sort / organise your beach finds?

Accepted Answer

Primarily by function, or what I'm likely to use them for. TEENY bits get sorted into their relevant colour coded tiny jars. Pieces destined to become earrings get amalgamated into the jewellery toolbox. Interesting or unique pieces that I want to highlight on my shop or to my Patreons are put aside to be made into brooches. Anything too large for jars or projects is shelved, and any remaining random pieces are arranged into little random treasure jars, which I sell, gift, or use as trinkets.

Question 4

Why can't I find any seaglass on my beaches?

Accepted Answer

Seaglass is not found on every beach. Essentially it is old rubbish; old glasses and bottles that were thrown away and found themselves one way or another in the sea. This means that beaches near old cities, port towns, historical rubbish and refuse areas, where people were more likely to discard their rubbish in or near the ocean, are more likely to have seaglass. It also may be, if your beach is particularly sandy, that you DO have seaglass, but it is so small it looks just like the sand.

Question 5

Where is the beach from your videos?

Accepted Answer

It is one of MANY excellent treasure beaches found around the East Neuk of Fife on the East Coast of Scotland. I am afraid I don't really want to be any more precise than that. The villages in that part of the world are very small, and it feels too close to telling thousands of strangers on the internet where I live 😅
