A bit of background: For many years, glass floats (glass balls used by Japanese fishermen in their fishing nets) have been washing ashore on the west coast. Glass balls haven't been used by the fishermen for many years, but the balls continue to arrive after floating aimlessly in the Pacific Ocean for many years. As time passes, finding them becomes increasingly more rare. Finding one is a treat few get the opportunity to enjoy. These glass blowing artists are providing the opportunity to more beach combers, albeit finding one of their floats isn't quite the same as finding a real one. But the children don't care. to them, a pretty multi-colored float is just as much a treasure as a plain, green-tinted translucent real one.
I intend to take my daughter down there with the hopes of finding one of these floats that she can treasure the rest of her life.
