Mixed media collage .01
Mixed media artwork featuring an 1878 Serio-Comic map of Europe, hermit crab print by Joris Hoefnagel, and an 1859 seaweed print. Accented by shells, coral, pink sea urchuin test, fishing net, freshwater pearl, ribbon, and textured paper. One-of-a-kind.
These shadow boxes have the hardware attached for hanging or they can be displayed standing upright on a shelf or table.
Made using heavyweight cardstock, ink, beads, and natural finds, and displayed in an 11×14” blonde MDF wood and glass frame.
All of my items are ethically sourced; no living animal is ever removed from its home. I only take what I need, in addition to picking up any plastics or trash I find along the way. Ocean conservation is a mission that I give back to - 10% of net proceeds are donated to a reputable organization.
When I'm at the beach, I typically spend 4-6 hours a day beachcombing. This usually amounts to about 3-5 miles depending on how much time I spend in each shell bed. My finds are washed, soaked, washed again, and when necessary, dipped in Acid Magic. I never add oil to my shells. Every piece has been meticulously planned, laid out, readjusted, and then, usually, readjusted again for the perfect fit. These pieces are a labor of love in every way - I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
