Shell Crafts - Grand Strand Shell Club

 
At the March meeting of the Grand Strand Shell Club, one of our very crafty members brought along some of her craft items that she made for us to see.  She also gave a talk on Sailor's Valentine and later gave a craft lesson in how to make shell flowers and butterflies.
 
Here is a sample of some of the flowers and butterflies that Sue Ann made.
 
Her display gave us ideas of what to do with the flowers we made.  She had various size boxes and picture frames.
 
My friend Irm, who is an expert in making shell crafts, is helping me with my shell flowers.
 
 
I did manage to make two flowers and a couple of butterflies.  I think I need a little more practice  and I will keep at it.  My flower has the little red centre.
 
No, I did not make this wonder tabletop.  The is a sample of the shell crafting that my friend Irm produces.  I am very fortunate to own two pieces of Irm's work - a shell box and an awesome shell wreath.  To own one of her tables would be PRICELESS to me.
 
Paul and I always look forward to being part of the Grand Strand Shell Club when we are in Surfside Beach during the winter months.  We have met some very nice people.
