absolutely beautiful! This is the most beautiful book I've ever seen. Whether you like making things with shells or just love the beach, you'll be inspired by page after page of unique and even elaborate uses for shells in the home. It will leave you craving the ocean and inspired to do beautiful things. The best seashell decor book I've seen! I cannot express enough how wonderful this book is. I absolutely love seashells. This book is full of great ideas of how to decorate with them. It is not just sticking a few shells on a flower pot or making a stepping stone with them, these ideas are unique. Yes some of them need a lot of shells to complete a project but its worth it to make something that beautiful. Even if you just love seashells and don't want to use them for decor, this book is so lovely to look at. Thank you so much Marlene. Practical methods for decorating with shells Packed cover to cover with full-color photographs, Shell Chic: The Ultimate Guide To Decorating Your Home With Seashells by painter and artist Marlene Hurley Marshall is a practical and inspirational guide to using seashells for vibrant and dramatic visual effect in one's home. From eye-catching table centerpieces to dazzling furniture enhancement, the text describes the practical methods for decorating with shells and the wondrous photographs by Sabine Vollmer von Falken portray the opulent results in both historic and modern creations. Also very highly recommended for the do-it-yourself enthusiast is Marlene Marshall and Sabine von Falken's earlier work, Making Bits & Pieces Mosaics: Creative Projects For Home & Garden (1580170153; $$$$$) Look through it in person first..... I looked through this book at a craft store the other day, and as a person who loves the ocean and seashells, I found maybe one project in here that I would consider making. Just about every project uses a ridiculous amount of shells so imagine the cost would be prohibitive and for this reason projects look overly ornate. Unless that is the look you are seeking to accomplish, I wouldn't recommend this book. Try to find "Decorating with Seashells" by Anita Louise Crane See also:
