As I live near the seashore, this summer I often went there to spend some time walking along the shore with my husband.
There I found very cute small pink seashells. In our country, they are called cherry blossom shells 'cause they just look like cherry blossom petals.
I picked up many of them on the quiet seashore- as I used to do as a child.
Aren't they beautiful? They shine like a gem on the shore.
This year I wanted to make use of them. They are too pretty to leave them in the corner of the house!
So I made a very small accessories by putting some uv resin in it with small beads and pieces of pretty pebbles.
a pair of earrings
I put pearl and watermelon tourmaline.
the other side of the earrings. pure natural color. beautiful, aren't they?
and I made a big pendant head using pink shells as flower petals of cherry blossom. I put small golden beads at the center of the flower as stamens. The green pebble is Aventurine. The white shell I also picked up at the sea. It is white but looks rusty and I like the antique-look.
The UV resin is transparent so it looks like clear water and really nice, I think. It also helps the fragile shells strong enough for using as accessories when hardened by UV.
This one I painted 'night sky with crescent moon' on the inside of one seashell which I picked up at the shore with acrylic paint; and put some resin and added small beads, a pink seashell, and small crystal points . I also put small amount of very fine sand of the seashore because the color is such a beauty it just looks like gold dust. As you may see in the photo, it just looks like misty cloud around my crescent moon, and I like it :)
Thank you for watching!
