Little shell decorated wooden boxes

I used the new crop of seashells to decorate the little boxes. In my opinion the shells look better on brown colored wood.  You can see the difference between the light box and the others.

For the boxes I used common wooden tongue depressors and coffee stirrers. The round ones are from wooden discs.

One of my favorite facades, an oriental "Aladin's Bazaar", fell off the wall .  It is a complete disaster.
The steel nail got loose and the whole thing fell and broke down.  My husband blames himself
for using a steel nail instead of a screw which is best for hanging these boxes.





Mending it will take longer than making a new one.  I am working hard to have it fixed.  Maybe next week
I shall be able to show you how it looks mended.

A very warm welcome to all my new followers.  I am sure you all have blogs but I could  only locate three.

  2. OMG, what a pity... but your husband shouldn't be too hard to himself, shit happens, there's no way to deny that. I'm convinced you'll fix that and I'm curious to see the result. Your boxes are lovely, and I agree, with the dark surface the shells shine brighter, but both versions are beautiful.

    Greetings

  11. Poor husband, it was an accident ;)!! I hope you can fix it, perhaps this thought comfort you a little: you can fix it, then aging with cracks and weathered colors painting over it all!! I'll see it when you've fixed it on your blog.
    These shell boxes are gorgeous, you're a lucky lady, you've got so many beautiful and tiny shells from the Lake of Gallilee. Thanks for sharing them. Personally I prefer the darker version , but both versions are beautiful.
    Hugs, Ilona
