Seaglass is glass discarded into the sea, larger glass pieces shatter, break, and are then tumbled, tossed around by the waves, weathered by saltwater and friction with other materials in the sea until they obtain a glassy, etched and unique appearance. Our favourite way to spend Sundays is to go for a beach walk and have a sea glass competition of who can collect the most. It's now led to about 30 jam jars full, so this is a welcomed activity! If you are unable to get to the beach, or your local beach doesn't wash any up (it can be hit and miss sometimes) you can buy some online here.
With Earth Day coming up I wanted to make a suncatcher with my children using reused materials, and sea glass, and the amazing colours we ve found seemed like the perfect choice - Especially the greens and blues to make a planet Earth. However, I did find this gorgeous thick, light lavender and perfect heart shaped piece of sea glass which was not going anyhere but safely in my pocket.

Suncatchers have been used by many to bring good Feng Shui into the home or workplace.
Suncatchers take the positive energy of the sun and energize the area by spreading that light around in the form of rainbows and flecks of light.
Suncatchers can be made with a variety of materials like
- Coloured cellophane paper
- Colored tissue paper
- Colored feathers
- Crayons
- Translucent plastic pony bead
I recently did a tutorial with pressed flowers here.

Worn by waves, recycled by the sea, sea glass is a product of both nature and man.

This is the lesser known "Glass Beach" (the other in California) but perhaps my preferred of the two. There's not as much sea glass here, but still a lot more than most beaches.

Reviews for "Exploring Creative Possibilities with the Slr magic 8mm lens for Canon EF mount"
1. John - 2 stars
I was really excited to try out the Slr Magic 8mm lens for my Canon EF mount, but I was left disappointed. The build quality of the lens felt really cheap and flimsy, and it didn't inspire confidence in its durability. Additionally, the image quality was subpar. I noticed significant distortion and blurring around the edges of my photos, which was quite frustrating. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this lens as there are much better options available in the market.

My experience with the Slr Magic 8mm lens for Canon EF mount was extremely disappointing. The autofocus on this lens was simply terrible. It struggled to find the focus point and often resulted in blurred and out-of-focus images, no matter how much I adjusted the settings. This made it almost impossible to capture sharp and clear photos, which was a huge letdown. Furthermore, the lens felt quite bulky and heavy, making it inconvenient to carry around for extended periods. I regret my purchase and wouldn't recommend this lens to others.
3. Mark - 1 star
I had high expectations for the Slr Magic 8mm lens for my Canon EF mount, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to them. The lens had a noticeable amount of chromatic aberration, causing color fringing around high-contrast areas in my shots. This was particularly evident in bright, sunny conditions. Moreover, the lens lacked sharpness, especially towards the edges of the frame. It was disappointing to see my photos come out soft and lacking in detail. Additionally, the manual focus ring felt stiff and difficult to maneuver. Overall, I was not satisfied with the performance of this lens and would advise others to consider alternative options.
