Get Inspired with Seashells
A walk on the beach can't help but inspire us to collect shells. This humble collection is a nice reminder of a vacation, but what to do with them isn't always immediately apparent. Their natural colors fit into any decorating scheme and the variety of shapes makes for naturally interesting displays.
A Simple Display
Shell Collage Chiming In Wind chimes made from shells are a delight to the senses. Each type of shell has its own sound depending on size and shape. It's easy to make because most shells have a hole through which you can string nylon and tie to a piece of wood. Type Cast Sea glass, stones and dried, whitened bones are interesting when arranged in a type drawer. This is a flat wooden tray divided into small partitions that once held printer's type. These trays can be found at flea markets, second hand shops and through mail order sources. To create a display, glue a found object into each section of the type drawer and hang it on the wall as if it were a framed picture.
