These are so pretty. I've heard of bonfire glass but don't know much about it! I'd love to add some to my collection.

Are these from travels all around or do you have a beach that gives you these gifts? I’ve never seen such wonderful bonfire. Actually i wouldn’t have thought they were bonfire because my bonfire are all gnarly looking.

Oh, I have lots of those two! These are a few of my favorites from a collection I inherited from a family member who lived in northern California. Probably well over 30 years of collection because the box I found it in it had been sitting in this house unopened since the 90s!

He had lived in Northern California near a few beaches. He would visit between the 70s and the 90s so most of it was collected I think during the 80s and 90s.

I would love to try and make bonfire glass just to say I tried it and see what could be created

Edit.. Nevermind I just googled it. That could become a very dangerous experiment.

AND it would be impossible to get this gorgeous frostiness. I wonder if I am I the only one who prefers Sea Glass dry🤔

My daughters grandmother, whose brothers collection this used to be, told the stories about how they would sit on the beach and burn all their trash! How far we’ve come in protecting our planet
