About this Product
Beautiful sea shells collected along the Jersey shore and turned into unique ornaments for the beach house or nautical Christmas tree. A few glass nuggets and golden wire add to the whimsical ornaments. The beauty of seashell ornaments lies in their natural charm, so bring a piece of the ocean into interior spaces. Can you hear the ocean roar?

Meet the Maker
Thanks for stopping in to share my passion !
I am married with two grown children and four wonderful grandchildren. My husband and myself live in Delaware, surrounded by chicken and vegetable farms. It’s a quiet, laid back lifestyle which fits our golden years nicely.
Stained glass is a hobby I had gotten into about 30 years ago. Now that I’m retired, children are on their own, and husband is busy with his own hobbies, I can devote more of my time to it.
Looking at sheets of glass and imagining what it can be turned into, then making it happen, is what gives me the most joy. Over the years I have designed and installed many windows for family and friends. Now most of my glasswork is sun catchers and small panels, though I enjoy making the occasional custom stained glass window.
Enjoy your time here, and if you should have an idea for something special, please contact me and we’ll see if I can make it happen for you.
How it’s Made
Before starting work on the shells, they must be thoroughly cleaned. A good scrubbing is a must, then a thorough drying in the sun.
The shells are then copper foiled around all the edges so the shell can accept adornments.
Next some kind of decoration is decided on. In this case colored glass nuggets. The nuggets are copper foiled, then soldered along the edge of the shell. Golden wire is attached for extra interest and a way to hang the shell ornament.
