My folks used to collect interesting stones on their desert trips. Sometimes we’d come upon a weathered shard of colored glass they’d refer to by its latin name “populus bottleus”. But I love “dinglbangle”! Great word!
I haven’t come across red glass… lots of amber and white, of course. Sand City is the best place to go a’lookin’ here… because Sand City used to be a dump back in Victorian times here. Pacific Grove would haul their trash out there…. and now you can find some really interesting stuff along the dunes. Blue glass is my super find… love thems!
My friend Heather Blue makes her own jewellery, and made her own simulated sea-glass with pieces of glass from two beer bottle, tumbled with sand in a rock tumbler. She then turned the pieces into earrings; I especially liked the ones which used the top of the bottle to make gorgeous green hoops.
D’awwww!
Dani: I second that!
X3!
Do you have any red glass in your beach glass collection? Very rare.
Happy holidays

Populus Bottleus is cool, too!
