Shell extracted from a pine board. Base is made of walnut with pegs of ebony. Thanks to Steve Garrison for his imagination and his book on how to make one of these! I will surely do some more experimentation with alternate materials and angles.
Some call this Liswi and some call this Bongkawil or Aninikad. Whatever is that the soup is good and this menu will keep you busy pulling the small meat inside using a safety pins.
For some of you in other countries, this kind of shell is new to you. But for Filipinos this is a good food to eat.

I made this over a long time, just for my darling heart. I could only glue a few shells at a time, then, when it was dry, would rotate the whole thing to do more. In secret. The bark is from Silver Birch trees. You can peel it off, if you're gentle, during the spring. It's so beautiful (the barrk). I've glued it to rice paper, then crocheted the edges. It's very delicate and warm and pretty.
I was concerned about the thin pieces, but as it happens, they look the best when the light is on. In fact it's a gorgeous thing. We all love shells huh? So pretty and shiny!
The base is an Op Shop purchase. An ugly lamp I transformed into lovliness! The shade was an awful dirty pink. I pulled the fabric off and just used the frame.

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.
