On a recent trip to Maine, my husband and I spent some time beach combing.  We brought home a number of pretty shells.

I am currently working on cleaning all of the shells so that I can figure out what to do with all of them.

I am going to do wire wrapping around some of the smaller ones.  The other small ones will be used as accents or focal points.

I am going to try to find as many different ways to use the rest of the shells.  Some of them may be used on their own.  I will use pieces for mosaics.  I want to try polishing some to bring out the inner sparkle. 

I am sure that I will come up with other ideas but first I want to make sure that the shells are totally clean and not going to smell bad!
