Collection: Artisan Ornaments

Natural Shell Ornaments

There are many steps to the decoupage process and it takes several days to create one shell.   The shells must be sourced, cleaned, painted white several times to ensure the that shell's natural blemishes do not bleed through the image.  Each coat of paint must be completely dry prior to adding another coat.  Then the shell must be painted gold or silver.  Images must be cut to perfection to fit the each diverse shell and decoupaged on the shell.   Once this is completed, the shells are baked for 10-15 minutes to set the image.  Finally embellishments are added to further decorate the shell.  Then the entire shell is varnish several times to seal and preserve the shell.  

Natural Starfish Ornaments

The Santa and Snowman ornaments are hand painted on genuine starfish and decorated with some embellishments.  They are the perfect little gift for any ocean loving beachcomber!

Natural Sand Dollar Ornaments

These Sand Dollars have been sourced from the South along with the Oyster Shells. They, too, must be bleached and cleaned to ensure they are ready for painting and sealing.   Acrylic paints have been applied to them along with glitter and other embellishments before sealing them and adding the ribbon.   

Recycled Fused Glass Ornaments

The glass ornaments are hand fused using recycled glass.  The detailed images are simply stunning.  They will make a wonderful addition to you holiday ornament collection or a great festive gift.

The whimsical Girl Friend Ornament Collection is a fun way to add some humor to your holiday ornament collection or gift them to your favorite bestie.  

Please note that Seashells and Sand Dollars are products of nature; each is unique, and no two are a like. They can vary in shape, color, and finish; therefore, they may contain naturally made blemishes.
