While I was shopping in Newport this weekend I fell in love with some (overpriced) gold and silver seashells on display at a few shops there.
I happened to have a basket full of real shells and some ceramic starfish sitting around at home waiting for their moment to serve as decor.
I also happened to have enamel gold leaf paint and silver paint, so I brushed those onto the shells. The ridges, divets and swirls in the shells and starfish took in the metallic colors and reflect light so beautifully. The results are better than I expected.
Perfect, easy project for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Now these seashells fit in with our living room decor, and I can bring the sea into those areas of our home.
