About this design:



Come out of your shell and show off your best designs featuring these exquisite exoskeletons! Whether you are able to walk the shore and search for inspiration, visit your own shell collection from past vacations or rely on research to show you these beach beauties, we want to see the great diversity of seashells represented!

Details

These sea sculptures can be shiny and smooth or rough and textured. Their unique patterns are thanks to the animals like hermit crabs that call the shells home at times. As the creatures grow, new layers or “growth bands” sprout up on the shell to make room. While no one is 100% sure where shells’ pearlescent colorings come from, some thoughts include influences like the temperature of its watery home or what it’s resident snacks on.
