A Christmas tree made of shells and left on Howe Street in Bay Head, NJ. The shells are left blank and then signed by visitors to the beach with their names and, or a message. Adorned with a starfish at the top, smaller red shells throughout the tree.
In lockdown so can't get out, however the sun obliged by lighting the shed. Art on the doorstep. Cropped & edited in Photoshop.

Two shells from a resale shop. I've been playing with backgrounds. This one is pastel, sealed in with acrylic gel medium. The squares are from an old dictionary, painted with sepia ink, stamped, and faded in places with bleach.
This is on of the walls covered with shells from the gardens of a house in Alcáçovas, Alentejo Portugal. It´s not really a house but a chappel called: Capela de Nossa Senhora da Conceição (Our Lady of Conception).
The strangest thing is that Alcáçovas is not near the sea, and shells are not something you can easely find there! And seems to be almost abandoned, since apart from one lady who has the key to the gardens, it doesn´t look to cared for. As you can see, shells keep falling down, and the patterns and images get destroyed with time.

This store was built and opened in 1987.
I ripped these photos out of a MS magazine several months ago, and finally got around to photographing them. It's pretty amazing what people can do with shells.

The story goes that in 1835 Mr James Newlove lowered his young son Joshua into a hole in the ground that had appeared during the digging of a duck pond. Joshua emerged describing tunnels covered with shells. He had discovered the Shell Grotto, its walls decorated with strange symbols mosaiced in millions of shells. Is it an ancient pagan temple? A meeting place for some secret cult? Nobody can explain who built this amazing place, or why, but since its accidental discovery visitors from all over the world have been intrigued by the beautiful mosaic and the unsolved mystery.
I have added a canopy with LED lighting to my model garage so I can emulate a set-up at night. This is my first attempt, and it's not perfect, but I haven't tried such a thing before and was inspired by others I have seen.
