so, my bags and bags of shells were mocking me...
my laziness, my lack of creativity, the zit i have above my lip...{i'm thinking of adding a bit of eyebrow pencil to it and going
for a cindy crawford look! ;}
well, i decided to show them...dumb shells!
ha! they got their comeuppance!
and it only took about 2 episodes of the killing and 15 glue sticks!{and 1 vicious burn! whooooooooooboy!}
and when it was done...i wondered if i hadn't gone too far?
obviously, it's "for decorative purposes only"...as they say.no earl grey or abuelita in this one!
i can see it on a book shelf...or a desk...part of your summer decor.
but seriously?who glues shells to china?
sheesh!
but then again, wait until you see what i recently
glued...to shells.
stay tuned and you can help me decide if i need to
place myself under a 72 hour hold! ;}

OH MY! How gorgeous! I played with shells this week, too and hot glued some to a cork coaster. I love the tea cup....I wonder if I could do that! I'll stay tuned! I LOVE SEASHELLS!
ReplyDeleteHow beautifully clever!!! I really like this post!!! Well done!!! Cathy
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...I didn't know what was going on until I saw that tea cup...perfect complement to the sea shells...I'd love to see where it lands.
ReplyDeleteLove it. If you are cracked...I say....keep on cracking-it gets better and better. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteps. I think the usual 'hold' is 48 hours-
No lovely, you can never go to far at the OC! Love it.
ReplyDeleteNot too far at all. Simply lovely!
ReplyDeleteHah! If I could do stuff like that, I'd collect more seashells.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I love over the top.
ReplyDeleteYour project feels perfect for summer! Give yourself a huge pat on the back. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I am constantly doing things like that. People who do not understand say I have to much time on my hands. lol
ReplyDeletebeautiful - I love it! it looks like summer! At least you have done something with your shells, while mine still sit in a glass vase! However they do decorate my bathroom in their glass vase.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
Love it! This will go with my chargers! Now we just need a shell-covered dinner plate and we're all set! Might be tricky to eat off, but who needs food when we have beautiful shell dishes! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it....I can't stop playing with seashells either. Its one of the few things that captures me every time I look at them with an amazing awe of their beauty. I say keep going. lol....over the top would be this

and even this I find beautiful....you have a long way to go. lol
I think it is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow. I have teacups (that I never use) and I have shells. Now ... I have a project. Thanks so much,
ReplyDeleteMary
As a newly addicted sea shell artist I don't think you've gone too far at all ... it's very unique and an awesome way to turn an ugly tea cup into a beautiful piece of art others will enjoy {even if they can't drink from it} ... not saying this cup was ugly {I'm no tea cup snob} :~)
ReplyDeleteYou always make the sweetest things and these are right up there. Really nice~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and creative! Can't wait to see what you glued to shells...sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteWell now isn't that just stunning?!! You have more patience than I, but it looks like it was worth the time & the burn. So pretty & beachy!
ReplyDeletehey M!
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful! i'm playing with shells tonight! seriously. :) ever see one of those "sailor's valentines"? that would be very cool to try. you might even need more shells.
perhaps you can fashion a zit cover from a wee shell to festoon your bad self? :)

ReplyDeleteToo far??? Not at all...this is awesome!!! The only problem I could possibly find with this is couldn't you have at least watched something genteel like Pride and Prejudice while you di something this pretty?
