The shells from local fisherman here at the Jersey Shore. Necole collects them after they are done with what they need and she picks them up every week. Necole then gets them home, cleans them, drys them and sorts through which ones she will be able to use. The ones that she can't use, will be ground up for our garden in the backyard. She then decorates them with recycled napkins. Then they are glazed and painted with gold liquid on the edges. A labor of love, for sure!
The shells are always slightly different, as the shells all vary in size and shape.
