crafting with shells...

One of my favorite pastimes is collecting shells.  The most beautiful shells in a large abundance I must add was in Sarasota, Florida at Lido Beach.  I came back to NY with hundreds of shells in a lovely array of colors, sizes and different types of shells.  I have been making crafts with them for the past 8 months.  My most recent project was done today.  I decided to make a water globe.  It was so easy and simple and everything I used was recycled in some way.  I will post instructions and images to follow.  But for now I leave you with a photo from my visit to Lido Beach.
