  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

 “It is perhaps a more fortunate destiny to have a                                                                     taste for collecting shells than to be born a millionaire”

Robert Lewis Stevenson



This bottle, molded from an antique flask, has a textured surface 

on the front similar to well pitted and frosted beach glass.





Here is the back of the  bottle shown above showing 

the clarity achieved through the casting process.
