This is for IC555 and the Bowls Pinterest site is our inspiration today. I really enjoyed seeing all the wonderful and creative pottery. I found lots of inspiration but finally settled on the Bowl of Shells. When I saw this piece I instantly thought of the mini shell set that I have and how pretty they would look in a monochromatic scene to mimic the colors of the bowls of shells. Since the shells are so small I didn't create a full sized scene. I wanted the fence, sand, grass and shells to be the main focal point and just have the water and sky area way out in the background. I couldn't resist adding one gull in the sky area but used one small enough to make him appear in the distance. I added glitter to the water line and the sea shells to add some sparkle since everything is basically the same color.

You certainly have a way of captivating your audience, Kittie! Love the sparkle and very sweet ocean scene~ I feel like I'm in a beach house looking out at the beach....

I'm always amazed how you can create such wonderful scene with such depth and detail in such a small space, Kittie. This is BEAUTIFUL! Love the warm, tawny tones.

Outstanding work of art! What a fabulous assemblage of die cuts, and the glistening shells are magnificent! The confines of the frame is superb without taking away from your sweet little beach scene.
