DIY: Shell Artwork


My good friend Stacey, whom I draw a lot of inspiration from, has moved in to a new house with her husband and she has been a busy bee making a home for the two of them. She is super creative, so when I bring Viv over for lunch play dates and a quick chat, I am always looking to what new furniture or art project she has done since the last time I was there.

This visit I noticed some shell artwork above her media console, and it was almost an "a-ha" moment when you look at something and go, "why didn't I think of doing that?". She simply took some small sea shells she found at the craft store, glued them to a linen back and framed them in a shadow box. Voila! Beautiful and simple and I am sure a fraction of the cost of what you buy at some fancy boutique shop. Love it!
