sea shell bead ?

During the summer months, sea shell bead art shows are a common occurrence every weekend on the green in downtown Milford, Connecticut. As I leisurely walk down the isles during one of these shows I suddenly spot of sea shell bead of them. Several items are skillfully created with, it seemed, every kind of shell there is. Perfect for a Victorian seaside home. However, it wasn’t until I went to the Milford Oyster Festival during the third weekend in August and saw more of them that I realized a trend was forming.

I was intrigued, so I eased through the sea shell bead crowd. “How were you able to collect so many varieties of beautiful shells?” I asked the artist. “It’s wonderful what you’ve done with the sea shell bead .”

“I used to collect them along the sea shell bead  shorelines but it was difficult to find a variety of shells”, she replied. “Now, I just order them from catalogs.”

Her answer surprised me. It never occurred to me to buy sea shell bead. Why would anyone buy them when they seemed plentiful on most beaches? However, after talking to the sea shell bead  and seeing her booth I understood. She some rare sea shell bead  of every variety, color, shape and size included in her creations. From then on I was hooked!
