Okay, now, just stop already! You'll break the interwebs. Seriously, are those real life shells you painted on? They look like old fashioned fans.

Hell no! I charge them out at circa $30 a pop.

Darn tootin'!! What skill you have developed, Kiwi. Just so beautiful.

This is my other hobby/craft, and ironically, the one that led me into soap-making in a very roundabout way (long story)

My daughter & I are us using oodles of “oooooh’s & “oh, my’s” when looking at these. Oh My Stars I just LOVE THEM!

The shells would make beautiful Christmas tree decorations. I have one painted shell decoration but it is nowhere near as beautiful as those @KiwiMoose

Probably not as expensive either though. What size is yours roughly? I have a bunch of smaller shells that i could make some out of - if i keep them simple I guess i could sell them for $10 - $15 each. And how is the ribbon/thread attached - glued?

I think the ribbon is attached to her head wrap in the picture below but I also have some other shell decorations where they have a bow at the top of the shell and the ribbon is stuck behind that with a glue gun, they dont turn when they are on the tree so one it is placed neatly it isn't too bad. She is about 2 inches in diameter, the smallest one I have is about an inch but it is a different type of shell.

I think yours would be lovely as decorations, even if you do make them a bit more simple.

That looks so meditative.

Those are insanely gorgeous! Those are the kind of pretty decorations you can give to just about anyone, too!
