Shell Crosses

Handpicked shells right from the bay, down in Texas! This cross is a one of a kind design that follows my style in creation. The shells all have imperfections that reflect the beauty of nature. This cross can lay flat or be propped up onto a surface.

When making the cross I use oyster shells as a base in the back to then design on. When making the back it is like a puzzle to combine the right shells in the right place to get the ideal look. After the base of oyster shells is dried, I go onto the next step which is designing the front with shells and faux pearls. 

• Handcrafted using real, handpicked shells
• Can be flat on a surface or propped up. ( message me if you want a wall hang added behind it)
• Perfect for anyone and for all occasions
