The outlines are the shapes of actual shells, (in the range of 5 1/2" high) but I had a lot of fun painting them in exotic colors instead of the realistic ones. You could always consult a shell dictionary for that if you would rather do the "real thing."


I can see the potential here for some really pretty threads, such as the DMC Satin Floss in the "pearl" interior of the shell.


Please excuse the tilted drawing - it's late, and I was too tired (lazy) to remove the thing from the scanner and straighten it out. I hope you enjoy these, as I have several more I want to show in the next day or two.
These are lovely! And I agree that DMC's Satin Floss would be perfect to use for stitching them.
