What to do with our shells
Sweet William asked us yesterday what Mom was going to do with the shells we find. Well some of them we are sending the Sheldon and Beachnut (the crabbie girls) so they can decorate their crabitat. Mom has been looking at all the things she can make with shells on pinterest and has found some wonderful ideas including these zentangle pattern shells. So here is our before and after - Mom followed the natural patterns on the shells to create the designs - what do you think? Just click on the pictures to see them bigger.

Wow ... How'd you do that? Mums got heaps of those shells. She so wants to do that. Pinterest, aye? That's where mum gets ideas for the little girls birthday cakes. She's off to check out shells!
ReplyDeleteoh I love it... the blue one could be the perfect decvoration for a tea table... well done Reilly's and Denny's mom!
ReplyDeleteBree you did such a great job on the shells, they are just beautiful. How long did it take to paint them?

OMP! That is so beautiful!! Mom keeps shells in the flower box on the front porch instead of flowers. We love them! XOXO - Bacon
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! She should buy one of those lamps that have a glass base. You can put whatever you want inside, including seashells and sea glass!
ReplyDeleteYou made the brown look like a woven delicate shell. The blue one looks like lace to us. They both look so different. The Crabbie Girls are going to love the Bree Designs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend

We went to a showing at the Cincinnati Art Museum that was a collection of painted buttons. They had painted famous works of art on buttons and fancy designs like you would see on German Easter Eggs. You could do that with shells.

That looks like a fun project! We hope you show us the next ones she decorates too!
ReplyDeleteWow, those designs are really stunning. How on earth does your Mom do that? She is SO clever!
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!

Our friends strung shells up and hung them up as wind chimes....but they put them too close to the poles and they're more like gongs.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is amazing work.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE what you did with the shells. ♥

Oh, goodness, Reilly and Denny and Bree we are most assuredly clacking our claws with glee! We crabby girls are all agog that you are sharing your stunning shells with us. We adore all beach decorations and find them even more marvelous from our friends. You did a spectacular job and those shells look so wonderful with the extra color. We love them both!
ReplyDeleteCiao and Little Pinches,
Beachnut and Shelldon
Wow, very creative! We think the crabby girls will be happy too!
ReplyDeleteKeep Calm & Bark On!

Oh there are so many things you can do! You can decorate picture frames or mirrors....buy a terrarium and put them in. I used to have a display of shells that I had gotten in Florida (I have family in the Miami and Ft.Lauderdale area).......so many things you can do with them!!! DakotasDen
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Your mom made them even more beautiful!!!
