I tried something new today
have you seen my old tried and true photo transfer technique that I use on watercolor paper?
(click here for the tutorial)
well, I thought it might work on some of my beach glass
it actually works better on beach glass than it does on paper
the two pieces pictured below are from my outing on the trail a couple of days ago:
here you can see how different they all look depending on the thickness of the glass:
the pieces I chose were pretty clear - the roughest one being the one on the far right
the glass was very weathered and gives the image a foggy look to it
but if you flip it over it's really quite visible:
I am so pleased with these results!
I will definitely be making lots more of these!

That's just wild. Have you seen this done before or are you the very first human to create something so beautiful with sea glass and photo transfers?
Thanks E!
I had more fun than I've had in ages :)
I'm sure I've seen it somewhere?!? there's nothing new under the sun - just new renditions of old ideas :)
so cool!
Wow, those are so beautiful! Who would have thought that was possible? I am off to read about your technique.
they are stunning... I have never seen the technique and the results are quite breathtaking.... xx
Wow. These are Gorgeous with a capital G. If I'd made them, tho, I'd be tempted to place one in a sure-to-be-found place near the water (bench or whatever) and watch peoples' wonderment :)
I love how these turned out! Great art Kimmie (now I need to get to a beach ;-)
These came out amazing Kimmie, so clear like qhost images washed ashore. xox
Super cool!!! You are so inspiring!
that is Amazing! so glad that inspiration struck. They had a really magical quality about them. Like little pieces of time stuck inside a shard of glass.
Beautiful.
