Collecting Shells and Memories
Every time I go to the beach or the bay my gaze is drawn to the sandy shore and the beautiful wet treasure that adorn it. There's a special depth to the little gifts from the sea in their natural environment yet I find myself bringing them home time and time again nonetheless. I ask myself every time, "what am I going to create with all of these shells?" Well, lately I've been going a little easier on myself and my reply is, "I don't know yet, but it's going to be fabulous!!!!"
Today, while admiring my salty, sandy finds I discovered a way to preserve the beauty these sea gifts possess when they're wet. Olive Oil! With a few cotton balls and a little olive oil you too can bring the beauty of the sea into your home!
Before. Still beautiful but slightly lack luster.
Olive oil and elbow grease.
This technique works beautifully for sea glass, rocks and driftwood too!
Enjoy!
