For this project, I decided to use an array of shells that I already had in my stash of products. I had been asked by several people to come up with new ideas other than regular beach scenes for using shells and this is what I came up with.

I coloured the shells using India ink, which was diluted with a tiny bit of water and left them to dry. While that was drying, I painted the board white and left that to dry also. Next, I mixed a small amount of sparkle pigment to give the base a nice glittery finish before adding the shells and stones. Once positioned how I wanted them, I then added some pigment to the resin and poured it over the shells and stones. Then using a little heat, I warmed the edges of the colour resin to help it spread out to the edges of the board.
