seashell garlands

hi everyone..


i'm on holidays at the moment and enjoying more time to get creative. tired of waiting for the carpenter to drill shells for me, i've learnt to use a power drill, so that's a good thing. 
using some of my favourite materials, threading shells and beads onto string is quite therapeutic. these are some items i've added to my etsy shop.








  
i hope you enjoy your weekend!

    Now, I wish I had a beach themed Christmas tree. It is so hard to find custom garland for Christmas trees. I love the strands in the second and fifth photo. They look like necklaces.

    They are so beautiful!!

    I had to laugh about the drilling through the shells...I used make pinecone garlands, and vividly remember all of the drilling and stringing! It is theraputic once you get into the groove.
    Have a great weekend!

    Oh - I must get a dremel tool. Truthfully, I hardly ever pick up traverse arks & they are so abundant on my beaches because I just never saw anything interesting to make with them.....until now. Just gorgeous!

    love your work Cheryl. you mean you can actually drill holes in shells? All these years i've been collecting shells with holes in them already. i really like your choice of stones and extras on the garlands, particularly the turquoise. It gives the garland a strong sense of spirit. Jane x

    I can be trusted with a power screwdriver, but I'm not sure about a power drill. Your shell garlands are lovely!
