My husband and I share a love of nature... most especially the ocean. When it's too windy to fish, we often go beachcombing for treasures together.
On one of our treks, we discovered an aged, weathered turtle shell washed ashore. I loved it's natural form and decided to give it new life as a Wall Sconce for our casita in Baja.
Since I tend to be the creative/artistic half of our relationship and my husband is the practical/technical half, our collaborations (usually ;-) work out perfectly.
Here is our most recent project, from start to finish. It was easy, fun and inexpensive to make. We hope it inspires you to think outside-the-box and create something uniquely your own.
