Shell Pots and Picture Frames

Handmade by Melissa Hunsicker, Owner & Maker at Olive and Limpet.

Based on my love for Victorian shellwork, the shell grottoes of Margate, garden follies of the Baroque, the Nymphaeum of ancient Greece and Rome, and, of course, the natural world. I've been collecting shells since I could walk, and there's something wonderful about creating these natural mosaics. Humans have been putting shells to use in a decorative manner for thousands of years, and I'm happy to continue the art!
