It has been nearly 20 years since we discovered a lovely cove in the south of Spain. Little did we know as we climbed down a steep stony hill that we were going to find a little beach full of beauty and treasure in the form of tiny sea shells of every variety. I still have two containers full of these shells and always bring in some more every time we re-visit our favourite summer cove. I had a nice herb bottle that I didn't want to get rid off, a glue gun, lots of patience and enthusiasm and this was the result. It also has been nearly 20 years since I decorated my bottle and I think it's time to start looking for another project along this lines, maybe a frame or box....what do you think?
Took this pic with my Ipad, just wanted to let you know that it was not Nicky (he would have taken a great photo with no shadows!)
This is a lovely example of what you can achieve with some shells, starfish are very decorative and the added pearls gives this frame a touch of glamour. I definitely must try this out.
First I should lay the frame flat with the shells spread out on the work table and then play around with what I have arranging them in position until I am happy with the result. Hopefully during this time I will be getting inspired and run around the house looking for dribs and drabs to add on. When everything is set, I'll get cracking sticking the pieces with the hot glue getting my fingers burnt in the process but never mind as by this stage I will be too enthralled to notice! Oh yes I'm getting ideas already........aha!.....I may have an old frame ready to be recycled.
