The South oyster shell trinket/dish
The South oyster shell trinket/dish
Oyster shells are beautifully, intricately and uniquely created by nature, the way God intended. So what better way to take a piece of nature and bring into your home? Each oyster shell I transform comes from right here off the South Carolina and North Carolina Coasts. The oysters were either eaten by family and friends who then passed the shells on to me, or the shells were actually picked up off the beach by my friends and I. Each shell has been thoroughly washed, bleached, and sun-dried to bring out the whiteness of each shell, then if needed, hand painted white on the inside. NO two shells are exactly the same, which is why they are so unique and would make great gifts...such as a housewarming, wedding, Mother's Day, Christmas, birthday, and many more.
This beautiful gold leaf trimmed oyster shell dish/trinket features “The South”with good ole sweet tea and cotton——favorites of South Carolina. It can be used as a ring or coin dish or simply put on display as decor. It is decoupaged using a napkin highlighting Good ole South Carolina. It is trimmed with Metalic Gold paint and then accented with gold leaf. The back of the shell has been left natural and measures almost 3 inches.
