Left: Eileen uses beautiful scallop shells in shades of orange and pink to adorn this grapevine wreath which will hang in her home on a blue door. She placed the raffia bow off center for a lovely look. Great job, Eileen!
Right: Nancy, seashell wreath instructor, hangs out on the side porch of the Edwards Building at the Alliance for the Arts. It's a wonderful, sunny day but a bit chilly. At noon it was 61 degrees.

Top left photo: Carol, Sylvia, and Mary carefully select the shells for the layout of their keepsake grapevine wreath.
Top right photo: Mary makes a design with the shells at the top of the wreath. She shared a tip for gluing bulbous shells -- just glue a piece of cotton underneath the shell and then glue the shell to the base (the wreath).
Botton left photo: Sylvia works quickly and nearly completes her wreath. She plans on hanging it in her bathroom above stained glass work.
Bottom right photo: Kaycie and Carol are daughter and mother. Carol used potpourri in beautiful blue and green sea colors. For a unique, decorative touch, she glued potpourri to the wreath and then a tiny, delicate auger atop it to make the shell "pop". Wow, I think Carol will be teaching the class next!
