Hi Trudy, From one Instant Gratification gal to another, I am thrilled to provide a wee bit of instant gratification to your world! It really was pretty darn easy to make and I do love how it looks in my dining room.

Have a fantastic day my friend,

Hugs, Lynn

Way cool! I have seen them at the Philadelphia Flower Show and wondered how to make them. I envisioned drilling and wiring and trying to make a sphere and gave up. Your idea is so much simpler, and therefore doable. I do so love instant gratification! Thanks Lynn

Oh Katje, Thanks so much for your kind comment. And I do love that basket too! It was a fun find. I know that oyster shells are recycled in my area too, but didn’t have a problem getting a few.
Hope you have fun making your clusters!
Hugs, Lynn

These are great! I love that basket, too! I have a bunch of oyster shells. (Your supposed to return them to the beach, but they’re so gorgeous and I may get around to that later). I’ve seen lots of these and I like yours nest of all. Thank you for sharing!
Btw, oyster shells make very pretty sounding wind chimes, too!

Yeah!!!! You probably have enough to make a mirror and you are a girl after my own heart…I’ve been channeling all things ‘oyster’ for a while too. Once they are cleaned they are really so pretty…one of natures unsung beauties.

Hugs, Lynn

I LOVE this! My friend has an oyster pit, and I got 5 gallons of shells. I just finished an oyster ball, and an oyster “bloomin’ onion” following the lines of a concreted cluster. Thanks for the inspiration!

Good Morning Kat…I did not use bleach, but I might have used just a little soap. There was just a wee bit of dirt on them
They had been sitting outside in the elements for months, so there was nothing in them that would cause them to smell anymore. However, if you used ‘fresher’ oyster shells, I think you might need to use bleach or soap.

Thanks for swinging by today! Hope you have a wonderful Labor Day!

Hugs, Lynn
