\"Shell<\/a>

Shell Fair Seashell mirror<\/p><\/div>\n

We finally got some much needed rain this morning to water the plants and to refresh the island. Whenever it rains, I get excited about doing an art project since I know I’ll be inside all day. I revisited my photos from the Sanibel Shell Fair and Show<\/a><\/strong> to get inspiration and a few ideas… then I realized… I never showed you most of the winners from the craft division of the show.<\/p>\n

Can you see how this artist made the cacti? SEA URCHINS with TUSK shells<\/a><\/strong> poking out of the holes! What a fabulous idea to use\u00a0TUSKS<\/a><\/strong> as thorns.\u00a0I love creative people.<\/p>\n

I love boxes of any kind and this one is especially sweet, isn’t it? I bet Leslie self collected those little WENTLETRAPS and ARK shells. I met her at the beach last year looking for those shells and BABY’S EARS on post Mixed Shell Bag<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Blue Ribbon for Tyler Schoenherr<\/p><\/div>\n

Have you gotten inspired yet? Well, I kind of went in a different direction. Instead of getting inspired to make shell crafts, I got inspired to do more posts about shell art and crafting so we will know what to do with those beautiful shells we bring home. But for now, the sun has come out …. so off to the beach to try to find another interesting shell or two.<\/p>\n
