Hi !

I haven't done many crafts lately I've been too busy with work and college. The last craft I did was making my grandmother beaded snowflakes.

I made this(

1st Image, 2nd Image) in remembrance from when I went to Destin,Florida for Spring Break. I made it out of sand and seashells that I collected on the beach. I glued some of the shells out on the outside of a vase. Then by accident my cat knocked over the vase but I didn't have any shells in it just sand. I guess from the static of the vase the sand stuck to the sides on the inside of the jar so I rolled it around so the sand would spread evenly out then I sprayed hairspray in on the inside to make the sand stick. Then I made a layer of sand on the bottom and arranged the seashells on top of the sand and sprayed it with more hair spray. I like the effect of the sand on the sides of the jar it goes with the seashells I glued on the outside. I'm just amazed that the sand has held real well just with hairspray it has been about a year.

I know you cant really see the sand real well, cause my digi cam is crummy ><' so I apologize for the quality of the pictures.
