An ORPHAN SHELL ART original

This is in the Lazy Afternoon Series.This piece shows off some of the many flowers that I make out of Shells. The slender tall blue flowers are my made to look like delphiniums.Delphiniums symbolize cheerfulness and goodwill, as well as a protective plant. Delphiniums are used to communicate encouragement and joy, as well as remembering loved ones who have passed. Delphiniums are also the official birth flower for July. The roses are hand crafted and the cream with pinkish centers are zinnias.If you look closely at the abalone shell it has a small shell of asnail that have used copper wire to make the head and antennas. Which is the reason I Titled this piece “ At a snails pace “. The hand selected shells thatI have placed in a little cove like setting have pieces coral that I found washed up by beach in Florida where I live.This is where I love relax and collect Shells on a lazy afternoon.
