Sea Glass article in Sunday's Parade Magazine

For those of you who still remember newspapers, there was a nice piece in last Sunday's Parade section. Although Baja was not mentioned specifically, I know that collecting colorful glass on your beaches is a fun pastime.

The book and author featured is also available as a selection from Baja Books and Maps, it's a big colorful book, I'm sure Judy will chime in with some particulars.

Thanks for the article, Dave. I have a daughter who loves to collect the stuff, she'll enjoy reading it.

Thanks for the link to the article, Dave
Yes we do carry that book and have for many years. It is by far one of the best photographic essays that we have carry.
I collect sea glass and am searching for a pic of what I have picked up here. It is fascinating to me. I love to find pieces that are not beer/wine/soda bottles.
A friend of mine told me that she had a jar of sea glass on a shelf in her bathroom. When the shelf pulled out from the wall and the jar hit her tiled bathroom floor, the jar broke but none of the sea glass....interesting, eh?

I like putting the colors together. For some reason the pic of my monster bottle of vari-colored wasnt focused.

The best places to find beach glass are around Los Barriles, Punta Colarado in particular.

we're using a recycled colored glass product in the counters of the new bar and reception offices at the resort i am remodeling this fall. the stuff is amazing. beauty of natural stone or quartz. it is mfgd so less $$ and greener product too.

now that Costco is selling Modelo Light in bottles, there will be a replenishment of the rare blue sea glass soon!

Seaglass!?!? :?:

Tell me what color you want, Ill go shoot some bottles and then run the pieces of glass thru the tumbler with some lead shot for a while.

Truly one persons trash is another persons treasure

You might recognize these big rocks where I was attempting an artistic shot!
