Book Reviews of A Passion for Sea Glass
Book Review: A worthy sequel to "Sea Glass Chronicles"
Summary: 5 Stars
Author C.S. Lambert and photographer Pat Hanbery showed us the beauty of those colorful beachside finds in "Sea Glass Chronicles: Whispers from the Past." Now Lambert has gone one step farther by documenting what avid sea glass collectors *do* with all of their treasures.
Sure, dropping the sand-burnished bits into jars and letting the rays of sunshine enflame them is a perfectly wonderful fate for sea glass. But the people we meet on these pages go above and beyond that artistry. They make jewelry or wind chimes or mobiles. They assemble mosaics on tabletops or walls. One man uses sea glass to simulate the windows and doors of the gnome homes he creates. Another artist crafts panels that look much like stained glass windows, until you examine them more closely. And those are just some of the projects featured in this book. While a few of the profiles include directions for making your own artwork, the focus here is on beauty and art and imagination. Most of the artists live in Maine, as do Lambert and photographer Amy A. Wilton; but this book will have appeal for many a beachcomber, regardless of location.
"A Passion for Sea Glass" is inspirational as well as beautiful. Any coffee table would look good with both sea glass books resting on its polished surface. And by placing them there, any host would be presenting an irresistible temptation for guests to pick them up.
Summary of A Passion for Sea Glass
Some people's passion for sea glass goes beyond collecting--they use it to create something of beauty. Carole Lambert, author of Sea Glass Chronicles, gives us entree into the studios of those who do everything from gathering and amassing sea glass mulch for landscaping to designing stained-sea-glass windows. This volume will arouse a renewed sense of wonder in those who already possess a passion for sea glass and win legions of new sea-glass devotees.Arts & Photography Books
