I'll be able to see, hear and smell the ocean in just 5 days! Hopefully it won't be low tide at Hingham Harbor on my first glimpse/whiff : - )
Pictured are 2 projects from a while ago. The seashell encrusted chair was a project from 'Crafting Day' at Bubbe's 2 years ago. We used found and purchased shells with the all-in-one adhesive and grout. That stuff was like frosting, fun to work with. The collage is from the Beeswax Collage class I took with Claudine Hellmuth at Art & Soul in Virginia, also in 2005.
I'll definitely be on the lookout for more ocean artifacts while in Massachusetts. Above the vignette in the photo is a 25 cubby Pottery Barn shelf, begging to be filled...
