I designed this valentine to be easy and fun to make, as well as beautiful. I chose colorful shells, easy to assemble flowers and a traditional design with lots of flexibility to make it your own. I have pictured the one I made with 3 centers. The first is a beautiful light peach heart cockle accented with stylaster coral frags. ( I will give you a lot more coral, but I didn't actually glue this down as I wanted to show all 3.} The next is an incredible coral colored heart cockle. The last is a gorgeous flower made of golden clams with a red pipe organ coral center. You can choose a box made of American cherry with inlaid black walnut dots, or A frican mahogany. The boxes are of the highest quality, hand finished and complete wit protective glass. You will receive step by step instructions, all the shells you need plus lots more and enough glue to complete your project. I taught classes in shell art for many years, and am very familiar with what beginners can accomplish. I have chosen some very rare colorful shells to give this project lots of pizazz This would be a wonderful gift.
