Another Shell Bowl

Katy Mayıs 09, 2022

I went out to a local flea market last Saturday and found another large shell to decorate and so Saturday afternoon I played with the shell and pearls and rhinestones.
I have really enjoyed decorating these shells.This one is a surprise gift for a friend.

This one I added lots pearls and a little silver metal fish inside since the shell came from the ocean anyway just like the pearls and fish, right? I had all these do dads in jars and drawers in the studio. I had a rhinestone bracelet I broke apart and used and then the pearls came from a broken costume vintage pearl necklace. Not sure when I got the little metal fish it was just in one of my treasure jars

Oh and I used E6000 glue. It's will hold forever and dries very clear so I don't have to be real neat

I think I have an idea to jazz these shells up a little in my spare time. I had a good relaxing weekend and I got my garage cleaned out and even hosed out and mopped, it sure looks better. I even filled the trunk of my car with clothes, shoes and nick nacks and took it down to the Wardrobe a donation center Tuesday.

This is a large bowl full of shells from north west coast and a few from Flordia of my grandmother's that I have sitting in my kitchen floor

These are just so fun and glamorous to make did you see my post a couple back of the first one I decorated? I should name them something beside shell bowls ? maybe glitzy art shells ?
