Click on the picture to view it in a
new window, click on it again to view it in a larger size. To return to the ShellWork page, close the new window. The colors of the works are as true as I could photograph them - there will be slight variances. All shells are natural in color - no paint, dye, or varnish. File sizes and download times will vary. Please note - they are copyrighted images. The #'s refer to the order built. Shipping is included. I have never done a commissioned work, but it might be fun to try. No guarantees, but do email if interested.
Please Note:
I sell mostly at art
shows, pick-up & carry away. |

#19 Telescope 2004
SOLD A wonderful little telescope that collapses into its mini treasure chest & features a reclining mermaid and a ship sailing by. My sister, Jennifer French, suggested this idea on our road trip back from Sanibel in 2004. We live in the mountains of southwest Virginia - the beaches are many hours away. Jennifer thought it would be fun to pull out a telescope and be able to "see the the ocean."
The box and telescope are
reproductions - likely very recent ones at that. |

#48 Miniature Butterfly Wreath 2008
SOLD This mini, measuring six by six inches, is a delightful little work filled with butterflies, bees, and flowers. A tiny snail crawls along the border of the silver frame. This wreath has all the elements of the Martha Stewart Living "workbook" page (May 2008 issue). Third Place, 2008 Sanibel Shell Show & Fair H: 6 W: 6 D: 1/2 $400 |
#46 Save the Whales 2008 Two antique wooden whales are surrounded by a wreath of blue and green mussels with a rainbow of pectins tucked in. Tusk shells form two waves and squilla claws are suspended from thin wire to make a 3D spout. At the base of the wreath is a cluster of orange coral with a purple pectin overlay.
The frame is black with a brown spacer
angled inward to the linen backing. A snail crawls along the bottom
left of the frame. Please Note:
Because of the heavy
weight of the coral at the bottom of this piece, it must ship lying on its
back for the entire trip. It will stand the test of time hung on a wall -
I am worried about the handling & orientation of the box for a long
journey. |
