You don't need to live at the coast to decorate your home with pictures of seashells. Many of us who are landlocked enjoy having pictures of sea life in our homes.
When I lived close to the ocean in Florida I didn't appreciate my seashell collection as much as I do now. I live far inland in New England and the beaches just aren't the same up north. I still love the ocean and miss walking along the coastline in search of some unique treasures to bring back home.
Now I can have other bits of home decor with pictures of seashells to remind me of my beloved Florida beaches. I do some photographing of my own shells, and those images can end up on products for the home. I've also been blogging about collecting shells, the mollusks inside them and have discovered some beautiful items of interest that feature these works of art found in nature.
Is your home decorated in a particular theme?
I really like your seashell puzzles. They would be a lot of fun to work on.
No, only very vaguely. The family room does have a few bombay items and one bath has a few seashells. We have many very small sea items coming home in suitcases.
Empty seashells are fine to collect. It's the living ones that you need to leave at the ocean.
Love the sea-shells, it reminds me of the sea and the beautiful beaches. I did collect some of these but left it there because I remembered reading somewhere that it affects the eco-system and the environment.
I think you should play around with it and see what happens. I am not a professional photographer by any means, but it's fun to see what I come up with. None of my photos are taken at the sea since I now live far inland.
I keep thinking of your seashell photography. I have some shells, too, but not enough to make a composition. It's a great idea to have these printed canvas. I keep thinking how to photograph them by the water. Problem is, the sea would drag them in. I might have to do two separate images, but I'm not sure I could get the effect right.
Have fun Mira, sounds like a plan!
Next time I make it to a beach, I'll make sure to gather lots of seashells. I could glue them onto canvas but then they would get dusty. I think your poster idea is great. I'll do that :)
Thank you younghopes!
Love the way you write and with all the zazzle products, it looks so beautiful to read.
