Processing

Each ornament is handcrafted to order with great care in my Florida studio.

🐚 THE PROCESS
These decoupaged shells are hand-crafted with a fine level of detail. Images are carefully set on a base of white or pearl paint and sealed with multiple layers of lacquer to give a refined porcelain feel and look to them. A delicate edging of liquid gold leaf gives the finishing touch. Shell backs are left in their beautiful and natural state.  These shells are thoroughly cleaned with soap and water - no harsh chemicals used.

🐚 SHIPPING
Items usually ship in 1-4 business days and are packaged in a delightful display box ready for gifting. Check shop announcement for occasional delays. A gift note can be included upon request and I can ship direct to the recipient- no receipt included.  Free domestic shipping on all orders $35 USD and over via USPS Ground Advantage Mail. Upgraded shipping available for additional cost.

🐚 ABOUT OUR SHELLS
Size: These shells range in length from 2.5" to 3.5".

Ethically Sourced. I only use shells that have washed up on beaches naturally.  Their former inhabitants have moved out.  I never kill or harm any animals to get their shells. I also donate a portion of our proceeds to The Marine Fish Conservation Network as a way of giving back for the abundance and beauty our oceans so generously provide.

Please keep in mind that each shell is unique and was once home to a little animal.  Any 'imperfections' in the shell should be seen as a badge of honor of this creature's journey from the deep to your door.  The pictures are examples of the patterns only.  Your shell will be 100% one-of-a -kind and the only one on the planet that will look exactly like yours. 

Finished shell fronts are waterproof but it is recommended that shells not be immersed in water. Clean shells by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth.
