Pictures of Seashells on Everyday Items

When I lived in Florida I used shells to decorate my gardens, hold items in the kitchen and bathroom, and as dirt cover in my potted plants.

Now I use pictures of them to create more useful items anyone can use around the home or office.  When I found Zazzle, my seashell photos were some of the first things I used create products and they began to sell quite well.  Since then I have branched out to isolate some of the images and that gives me more creativity options.

As more items become available at the Zazzle site, I continue to add my own personal seashell photography and designs to everything from mugs to puzzles, clocks, paper and more.  If Zazzle sells it, I will put shells on it!

Knowing the recipient of the gift well will help the giver decide what to shop for.  Some gifts would be appreciated by most everyone, and small items with low price tags can be used as stocking stuffers or party gifts.  

The woman who has a great kitchen and loves to cook might like some new dish towels, cutting board, personalized apron, serving dishes, or little rugs.

I don't know why people tend to use seashell art and pictures in their bathrooms only, when the artwork and photography of these special sea creatures can add so much to a living room or any prominent area of the home.

Puzzles may seem old fashioned these days and you'll seldom be able to get the kids to sit and help put one together, but the novelty of it may just hold their interest long enough to create a family memory.

The trouble with doing puzzles is that they usually take a while to finish and in the meantime, they must be set up on a table which takes up valuable space.  Therefore you may encounter a puzzle set up at the grandparent's home.  Or you'll drag one out while on vacation and the weather has kept you inside.  It's a great way to keep busy when the power goes out, even if it's more difficult to see by candlelight!

I've made some seashell puzzles using my own photography of the shells I collected when I lived in Florida.  This one has the adult and juvenile "lighting whelk" in the forefront with lots of other pretty shells beneath.  I think it would be a challenge to put together, but the finished product could be hung on the wall.
