The result of weekly visits to my favorite beach for almost a year! I collect glass through the year and put them in this big vase until it’s too cold to search and then sort them all by color. Mainly all from Mentor Headlands in Ohio.

I think I can fill it up for the first time since I started collecting five years ago! It’s getting colder, but not too cold to walk the beach. Sorting by color is fun and a great way to see how common and uncommon certain glass is in the lake. I can tell you one thing, in this entire jar, I only have one little orange piece, a few yellows, and a small handful of reds!

I've had three separate giant glass jars like this, I can't keep them from breaking once I put sea glass in them 😂 The one time it even cracked at night when I was sleeping and poured my glass all over the floor.

It’s rarely too cold!

That’s a beautiful collection! When you sort it, it would be wonderful to see your favorites in each color 🤩

Oh I plan on taking pictures of the final sort at the end of the year! I’ll probably sort it around new years.

Very cool. I would not have thought “Ohio” when thinking about sea glass. But I am wrong
