From the lens The Glass Floats in Lincoln City, Oregon.

    We now have our own Glass Quest here in Stanwood, Washington, where each spring people search for hundreds of 'clue balls' hidden around town. Each clue ball can be exchanged for a handblown glass 'float' made by local glass artist Mark Ellinger, one of the glass artists involved with the Lincoln City event.

    As a child we used to find the ones that floated in on the Japanese current on the beach.

    I've never heard about this event, but it's a very creative way of promoting the artists.

    What a creative way to promote a community and its artists. Creative lens, too! Blessed

    These glass floats are lovely! What a neat event! Blessed!

    What a lovely idea! I'd love to find a glass float.

    This is one of the most unique events I've read about and a lovely idea. If I lived in the area I'd be out there looking for a float myself, it would be a thrill to find one!

    Look out for this one on Squidoo Lens Reviews on Monday 20 Sept -- you can claim a review badge too if you like! :)

    I wish I lived close enough to search for a float. Sounds like my kind of fun.

    My son has an eagle eye for finding floats - We have found a few of the Finder's Keepers, a blue softball size Japanese float in a cave and a 37" Circumference Green float in the surf. :) You can see our beach finds here: http://pebblekeeping.blogspot.com

    I have several glass floats from the Coast -- never found one, ending up buying them. But they're beautiful!

    Lovely and I learned something.

    Lived in Coos Bay and other parts of Oregon for 15 years - went to Lincoln City soo many times - not one of those gorgeous floats. : ) They are amazing

    Wow, that sounds so cool. I have never heard of this. I live in Oregon but just moved here this year. Cool stuff!

    What a splendid thing to do! I would be out there looking for floats all the time if I were local - they're absolutely gorgeous!! Wonderful lens.
  • JudyDunn Sep 5, 2008 @ 3:57 pm | delete
    Very cool. Found treasures at the beach are always special, but I love the idea of nature combined with human intention to make this happen.
  • flighty02 Sep 5, 2008 @ 2:34 am | delete
    What a nice lens, those floats are great, I wish I lived near enough to go looking for them!
  • dreamsgate Sep 4, 2008 @ 9:33 pm | delete
    Wow, not only is that cool in and of itself, I think it would make a great vacation for my family.

    That was really interesting. I've always been fascinated by glass art.
  • WritingforYourWealth Sep 4, 2008 @ 4:25 pm | delete
    What a neat idea for a lens. Oregon is just down the coast from me (Washington), so I'll have to come down to visit and see if I can find a float. :)
  • KimGiancaterino Sep 4, 2008 @ 4:09 pm | delete
    I have a hummingbird feeder that looks like one of these. Welcome to All Things Travel. Gorgeous lens... Squid Angel Blessed!

    Loved your lens! 5 stars!
  • a_willow Sep 4, 2008 @ 9:26 am | delete
    This is amazing. I always adored people who know how to make glass or crystal and found some of them great artists.
    You totally deserves 5* both for idea and realization. :)
  • Shreela Sep 4, 2008 @ 8:25 am | delete
    Those are really pretty. I wish there were some glass floats around here. I guess I'll have to be happy with the rubber ducky race.
  • saraht43 Sep 4, 2008 @ 12:23 am | delete
    Wow would really be cool to find one of those. Great lens.
  • CubicleJoe Sep 3, 2008 @ 7:59 pm | delete
    Interesting! My wife & I always enjoyed watching the glass blowers at craft events. Not an easy art to learn by no means. Very informative lens. Good use of pictures and modules.
  • Sep 3, 2008 @ 4:44 pm | delete
    I learned a lot
  • James20 Sep 3, 2008 @ 3:43 pm | delete

    I did not know this. Very interesting.

    I love blown glass - it is so pretty. You get 5 hand blown stars from me for a very cool site full of great info.
  • lakeerieartists Sep 3, 2008 @ 1:31 pm | delete
    Very interesting. I didn't know anything about this. Emailing to my friend the glass blower to see if she does.
