I love the idea of repurposing discarded items. Collecting empty shells on the beaches and coves in Dorset inspired me to do something a little more creative with them so that they could be used around the home.

These lovely shells can be used as Jewellery Dishes, Trinket Dishes, Tea light holders and add a touch of creativity to any room.

Full description

William Morris Compton Design, Dorset Scallop Shells

Process:

These shells come straight from the beautiful shores of Dorset. Once they are back in my studio each one is then thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed and left to air dry.

At stage 2 the shells are then sprayed gloss white and are then ready for the pattern to be applied.

Once the decoupage is dry another layer of glue is applied and then they are left to air dry for another day.

Once throughly dried each shell is meticulously painted gold, using a liquid real gold leaf, and then a layer of epoxy crystal clear resin is applied to the inside of shell to create a hard wearing gloss finish.

The shells size: will be between 11-12cm, Each shell trinket dish will have subtle variations which are caused by the natural variations in the shape and size of the sea shells used, as well as a result of the hand crafting painting method and the Decoupage.

The shells are presented in a natural craft gift box nestled in white shredded presentation paper and tissue paper to protect the shell. It is accompanied with thank you note (printed onto premium white 300gsm water colour paper) and a thank you sticker.

This is a unique and beautiful gift for someone special x
