To follow up on yesterday’s blog, I did not go surfing today. First of all, there was no decent surf this morning for the captain and he just now left for an afternoon surf sesh and anyway I have a project to complete. While he was away on his last assignment, I decided our front door was crying out for an addition of seashells to welcome everyone. Here’s what it looked like before I started. I thought the window embedded in the door was a perfect location for embellishment.
I made a template of the window and arranged the seashells, artistically, I hope!
It was necessary to use the trusty glue gun because the other type of glue wouldn’t work vertically.

Once it was done, I was really pleased, but thought that some rope work would add the final touch. I commissioned the captain to work on a long piece to surround the window. I measured it, and it was about 50 inches. I glued it down and it’s done. I love it!

Thank you! Not sure how our neighbors are going to feel about it, but, oh well, I’m the seashell girl!

Thank you! If I get any negative reaction from anyone, I will direct them to read your comment!
I think it looks great! I’ve been thinking of doing some kind of seashell wreath since I can’t actually glue anything to my apartment door
but that is a great idea!
I appreciate that! I think a wreath is awesome; I made one with a holiday theme last year that came out great.
