New Seashells from The Sleepy Seahorse

I haven't posted in awhile, so I have a variety of new items to share.  Hope you enjoy them!

This is the first ring dish I've ever created.  It's basically just a large iridescent clam shell adorned with calico scallops, other assorted seashells, and faux pearls.  It could actually be used for a multitude of decorative purposes in a home with beach décor or a beachy themed wedding.  For example, it could serve as a candy dish or stand alone as a decorative seashell piece.  In a wedding, it would make a lovely ring bearer holder, and of course it's also perfect in the bedroom/bathroom to hold rings or other jewelry. 



This is the latest shell box I've created.  It's the most rustic one I've done so far, and it would ideal for any nautical or beachy décor of a rustic nature.  I've stretched faux fishing net diagonally across it, and then clustered only Florida seashells on top as though they are coming out of the net across the box. 

 
These are my newest photo frames.  I love the circular one, and of course you can adjust the placement of the picture so the shell clusters tilt at whatever angle is desired. 
 
 
 
Once again, I used mostly Florida seashells here.  The sunset photo was taken at Lover's Key State Park near Ft. Myers - one of the loveliest spots in all of Florida, in my opinion. 

 
 
 
And lastly, here are my most recent ornaments.
 
 


This one (below) I designed specifically to be a wedding ornament.
 
 

 
I wanted to find a way to showcase an ornament without having to hang it.  So below is a decorated scallop ornament that sits on an easel rather than having a hanger on the back. 

 
Thanks for stopping by!
