Page said she quickly developed a knack for wire wrapping and when she began incorporating beach glass into her designs, neighbors and friends took notice. Jumping in with two feet first, Page traveled the world in search of the best beach glass. According to Page, the island, just 2 miles around, was once a very active harbor during the s in the salt industry and was frequented by pirate and chipper ships.
When Page learned that an old stucco cottage was for sale in the tropical paradise, there were no hesitations.
For the making of his first and only solo album, 'The Lace', Ben cheerfully co-writes with then-partner/lyricist Diane Grey Page.
In her time on the island, Page has collected rare lavender sea glass and cobalt blue fragments from old Milk of Magnesia bottles and Noxima jars. Salt Key is also the only place Page has been able to find black sea glass. Page was able to get in touch with the man, now living in Quebec, who dropped the bottle into the Azores with his son 14 years ago.
Page, who splits her time between New England, Florida and the Bahamas, admitted that the sea glass pickings are slim in the Bay State and said she focuses primarily on shells when up north.
How his relationship with Diane influenced his songwriting for The Lace: “We share a large amount of romance in this life, and you can’t help but put that into music.
But for those who plan to scavenge for sea glass on their next warm-weather vacation, said Page, be willing to venture onto sands less traveled. For more information, visit Diane Page's Web site. Concord resident sees beauty in beach glass. Facebook Twitter Email.
