Damn Jax... that is just BEAUTIFUL. I have to say, my girl here has a good eye and guessed on the second look and said.. "omg, are those seashells???" She was blown away.

I collect LOTS of seashells. Got 'em coming out of my ears. It's an aesethic pleasure for me, though I don't think I could come even close to what your mother has done. She has talented hands and an artistic eye, God bless her.

OMG I thought they were carved and dyed bones or ivory. That is just beautiful!!!! A real museum piece someday. Would you please post the name of the book she got the pattern out of? Pretty please? And you have a really pretty dining room in which to set them off. Since I live in Denmark and am surrounded my sea on all sides I would love to try this myself. Thank you so much for sharing.

Reply #34 - Apr 14^th, 2009 at 2:29am That is a real piece of art, just the time taken to collect and wash the shells is a feat in its self let alone arranging it. Well done to your mum.

That.
Does she sell those???

Yes, she sells them. None as large as mine though but almost. The one on my dining table weighs as least 30 lbs.

I found a couple of decorator boutiques and art galleries where she sold some. Now she has a following and people call her. The problem is they are very hard to ship so people hand carry them home. My oldest son was the first grandchild to get one. He and his wife were so thrilled they almost forgot the kids at the airport. Wink

I called and read this thread to her. She was so touched and thrilled by what you all said. I'm to thank you all for her....you made her day!

Love ya,
Jackie
