All shells are unique. There are no two the same. So please be aware my shells are not identical and will differ.
Please be gentle with my shells. Do not submerge in liquid, don’t use to serve food. A dust with a soft cloth is ideal. Enjoy!
Shell only - No props included
I have to admit i am a huge Rocket St George fan! If you haven’t caught up with these guys, take a look at their fabulous website. It’s full of lovely stuff! So they were the inspiration for this piece, dark and slightly humid!
What is decoupage? It originates in Siberia and was used to decorate tombs, by 1200 it was seen in China then later in Italy.
It is the method of layering different types of paper, tissue, building up layers and depth. Up to 40 layers of varnish were added and then it was very carefully sanded to achieve a mirror finish. There are 2 notable decoupeurs, Mary Delaney, she worked in the court of George III and Queen Charlotte, producing the most astonishing and detailed botanical artworks. Her work can be seen in The British Museum of Art. More recently, Liz Barker cam to the fore during the COVID pandemic, using materials such as masks, swabs and PPE
