A Recipe For Sea Glass
By Charlie Tapper and Lucy Tapper
“A Recipe For Sea Glass” was the winner of the 2023 Beachcombing Poetry Contest. This poem by Charlie Tapper follows the journey that a fragment of abandoned glass might take on its way to becoming sea glass. Charlie’s daughter, Lucy Tapper, has illustrated her father’s poem for a book released in November 2023.
Her beautiful illustrations take us on a trip as a piece of sea glass is shaped and smoothed in the vast soup of the ocean, where wonderful and weird things may have occurred.
Lucy also publishes the Sea Glass Guide:
- Sea Glass Guide: Bucket List Beach Finds and Sea Stoppers
- Sea Glass Guide: Ocean Orbs and Tidal Treasures
- Sea Glass Guide: Strange Sea Glass and Sea Glass Wonders of the World
- Sea Glass Guide: Sculpted by the Waves and Fabulous Finds
- Sea Glass Guide: Sea Glass Gems and Rainbow Beach Finds
