Introducing a New Concept in Wedding Favors: Decorative ~ Hand Crafted
"SHELL WHISPERINGS " "The beauty of a single moment can last an eternity." Anonymous Using hand picked shells and shell fragments tossed onto our local beaches from within the surf zone , we capture that moment when water, wind and waves momentarily conspire to create natural artworks in a state of high energy. Starting with molds of antique bottles and special resins, we cast shells, charms, and personalized text to create whimsical, one of a kind, hand crafted Messaged Bottles. They make great wedding favors, gifts, and keepsakes. Our custom blended epoxy resins produce long lasting representations of once momentary glimpses into natural artifacts in motion previously seen only fleetingly at the edge of the surf zone. When cured, they capture the timeless beauty of these under appreciated "natural gems". Shell Whisperings are unique, one of a kind, hand crafted artworks that make great gifts for weddings, beachcombers and beach glass hunters, and nature lovers, to name a few. They can be customized during the casting process with personalized text such as names, dates and quotations. “If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” Vincent Van Gogh Please feel free to ask any questions by email: shoresamples@osob.net
