Smitten with Shells



VINTAGE SHELLCRAFT


Every once in a while I'll come across these shell arrangements mounted on cloth and framed.


This particular one has a label on the back.

Shells are by far my favorite treasures and I just love this piece of shell art!

Shells are little sculptures created by Mother Nature!

You have opened my eyes to shell craft...I often find litle projects someone once spent time on around the shops on the coast when we visit our beach house. Even moi have fallen under the spell of glueing shells...Colx

Beautiful Mother Nature art that man has also further turned to an art form.
Terri, you find the most interesting and wonderful things. This is so fascinating.
