How it’s Made
All of my pieces are one a kind, made by me. I have a collection of plates and platters from area home decor stores and secondhand shops. The oyster shell comes from restaurants in my area, Pacific Grove and Monterey CA, trips to my hometown of New Orleans, LA, and an oyster bar in Denver where I have family. Some of the seashells are purchased and others are collected along the coast of Monterey Bay, the beaches of Perdido, FL and other beach vacations. After choosing a plate and drilling a hole in it for the clock mechanism, I select the oyster shell and seashells and grind them down on the back to sit properly on the plate. Once glued into position, the shells are sealed with either a semigloss acrylic sealer or a high gloss resin sealer, depending on the look I am going for. The mosaic ring, set like the minutes of a clock, is made with real sea glass, shell pieces and/or tumbled beach glass. And as a final touch, a single real pearl adorns the 12 o'clock oyster shell. Due to drying and curing times, each clock takes several days to make.
