The place we reside on the gulf coast of Florida, there are numerous white sandy seashores and plenty of of them are good for shell gathering. Since I’ve been backwards and forwards for 2 years, I’ve gathered a group of shells from seaside walks and was impressed to create artwork within the traditional shadow field format.
This framed shell artwork venture is extremely straightforward to piece collectively, all you want is a group of shells (or you possibly can use sea glass too) and shadow bins. I had three sources for mine, the native Florida seashores, ones I purchased on Amazon for selection, and sliced shells from a store on Etsy.
My sources for shells:
seaside walks right here in Florida
these combined shells on amazon
tibia shells from Etsy
sources: white body shadow field set / sliced tibia shells / shell selection
I performed with just a few shell preparations, it’s stress-free sitting with espresso creating completely different shell combos on the linen backgrounds.
I finally settled on a spiral sample for the sliced tibia shells and grid sample of pink patterned and white scallop shells.
As soon as I had the format I appreciated, I utilized dabs of sizzling glue to the backs of the shells to safe them to the linen backgrounds.
Ultimately I believe these will find yourself on the slender wall subsequent to my dresser within the main bed room, however for now I’m displaying them in our kitchen.
