http://SiestaKeyFarmersMarket.org My name is Jeanne Heere. I moved to Sarasota in 1981. I have always loved the beach and looking for shells. I first started doing shell mirrors in the early 80's and sold by word of mouth. In 2012 I gave up the corporate world and was looking for a less stressful life and started doing shell crafts again. I found the Siesta Key market a perfect place to market my artwork since ALL the shells are hand picked from the local beaches. Each item is handcrafted with shells I find myself here on Siesta key. I have a wide variety of hand crafted art pieces for you to enjoy! My creations include mirrors, frames, wooden crosses, driftwood crosses, bikini star magnets, nite lights, treasure bottles, wine glass charms, lamp finials, fan pulls, and letters and other hand crafted shell treasures. Custom orders are available!! What about this Shell-Rimmed Mirrors?

7. What about this Shell-Rimmed
Mirrors?
Perhaps the only thing more beautiful
than a single shell is a collection of
them. To balance the composition of
this heavily adorned mirror and
simplify the process of arranging the
shells, I work in layers.

8. I arrange the largest
shells on the mirror
frame first, then,
working from largest
to smallest, fit shells
into the remaining
spaces until the
frame is covered.

9. I first, group the shells by size.
Position the largest shells at even
intervals around the frame, then fill in
with the next smallest shells. One at a
time, pick up each shell and glue it
down. Layer on smaller shells until even
the tiniest areas are covered.
