Polly Becton

Randy and I have vacationed on Edisto Island for many years and still do. During beach walks I always collect less than perfect shells. One Christmas time I decided to make gifts for my friends using the shell pieces. After much testing of glues and finishes I achieved the desired results. Each piece takes about a week to complete. Some are enhanced with gold, silver, jade and glass beads and some are left as found.

What began as gifts has turned into a wonderful venture for all to enjoy. True Treasures from the Sea.
