Beach Find
I finally finished up my other found object from the March wrapper's challenge.
It's a broken shell piece I found at the beach, which I coaxed into being a more wrap-ably appealing shape (hopefully).
I started out with a woven wrap & with the shell shape, & the back dropping off -
I didn't feel the shell was held tight enough, so I came up with using a small wire to follow the lines (grooves) of the shell on the front, & end in a twist on the back. It actually worked, and I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.
On a side note- I tumbled the completed wrap and the shell was not damaged at all.
It's nice to know that something so soft can survive the tumbler.
Thanks for looking ,
