Lake Michigan Beach Glass Stepping Stone

                Where’s your happy place?  The beach is one of mine.  I love how no two days are alike there.  The skyscape, the water, and the sand are always in motion.  The beach glass I collect reflects the lakeside color palette—driftwood brown, crystal clear, azure, and leafy green like the sentinel forests bordering the shores.

​               After picking up beach glass for an entire summer, I finally had enough of it to make a stepping stone.  I spray painted the beach glass white on one side so its colors would still be jewel bright when it was set in concrete.  I mixed up a batch of concrete and built a mosaic of lake glass and stones in it.  I’ll add this stepping stone to my garden, another one of my favorite places.
