I do have a hobby, damnit! Tyler bugs me all the time - you need to get a hobby, you need to start doing something. Then he looked at the plants all over the house. I guess you do have a hobby. Uh, yeah!
Back in CA, I was inspired.
A little curiousity shop tucked away in the Mission. Flora and fauna and natural artifacts. I've been trying to find a good way to experiment with these little wonders ever since.
A few years later, I am finally working on this project! Found bags of shells at Christmas Tree Shoppes for $8 each! Must be 5lbs of shells in each bag! While I cant use them all, most of them are perfect vessels for my little creatures.
They even hang! Tyler is quite brilliant when it comes to solving problems. You'd never know there's a little button inside there keeping everything together on a string. 
Felt a little primitave gutting this little sea star
One of the greatest compliments Tyler has given me in our lifetime is saying how professional they all looked and how impressed he was in the outcome. Thank you!!!
very cool!
ReplyDeleteWhere did the plants/flowers come from? Were they pieces from plants you already had? Very pretty! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteHillary - The plants were ordered from etsy. I am in the process of trying to propagate my own, but it is a very slow process!
