More Sea Shells


This seascape is made from a canvas framed, turned backwards.   I used shells, yarn, paint and glitter to create an underwater scene.  I used a string of pearls and blue trim around the edges.





































































Sea Shells

This was one of our first projects.  Just a mason jar filled with shells, sand and a little glitter.
Summer is the time for trips to the shore, sunning and  shell collecting.  Over the years I've collected and bought so many different types of shells.  I love the colors, shapes and textures of these natural works of art.  I got to thinking of all of the different projects I've made over the years on my own or in my senior's and kid's programs.  I decided to take all of my projects and show off my "shell collection".  Here's a sampling!

Thank You Card

Just finished making this card for a friend.

The Craft Room



Here's my craft room.  It's bright and sunny since we lost a couple of trees outside during a bad wind storm in March.   I'm spending some time over the summer getting better organized.  I'm going through my stuff and de-staching the materials I no longer need...  I need to make room for new stuff.  Since I do so many different crafts, it's hard to organize and know where things are when I need them.
