Milky Way Galaxy Seashell
$20.00
This is a seashell that has been dyed in the batik style. I use a tool called a kistka to write on the shell with melted wax, which resists the dyes. When the design is done, the wax is melted off. I then varnish it with several layers of a UV resistant varnish, which adds a beautiful gloss finish and layers of protection.
How to care for your shell:
Keep it out of direct sunlight when you display it. Even with the UV resistant varnish, sunlight can fade the colors over time.
If you need to store your shell, wrap it in layers of tissue paper (you can also wrap it in bubble wrap for added protection) and place it in a box where it is secure and won’t roll around.
