Resin seaside art – Seashells and beachcombing items encased in resin

With lockdown lifting and things hopefully getting back to normal, may of us are looking forward to getting away this summer, I know I am! Living in the heart of the Midlands, you could not get much further from the seaside, and I so long to dip my feet into the sea!

So, to get us all in the holiday mood, I thought I would share some of the resin art I have previously made using seashells and other items discovered from beachcombing.

The first item is a resin paperweight encapsulating shells and pieces of coral sent to me by a customer, following her holiday. The resin enhances the colour of the shells beautifully!

These pendants are one of the first things I encased within resin over 10 years ago. The left pendant contains tiny seashells; and the right pendant contains both seashells and sand.

And another square paperweight made from seashells and personalised with the holiday destination and date.

And finally, this is a picture I made from pieces of sea glass that I collected from a Jersey beach. This mosaic style picture is meant to resemble one of the beaches that we visited in Jersey.
