Janet's Seashell Collection

seashell artist
I have some very talented seashell artists here on Completely Coastal, and they all have their very own signature style. So today I'm showing you Janet's Seashell Collection, beginning with a peek into her studio. Janet lives in Southern California and after spending many years as an interior designer, she discovered the fulfilling enjoyment of creating home decor with shells. She started off selling her work to boutiques, shops and designers in Los Angeles and around the country, then later set up her store The Seashell Collection on Etsy.


M as in Maya (my name)! Janet's shell artistry includes lovely sea shell letters that make great personal gifts. All the letters she makes can stand or be artfully hung on the wall.

This is a close up of one of Janet's pillows that has a beautiful seashell center piece. I love this idea! Too see more pictures, just click on image. And to view all pillows in her collection, click here.

seashell topiary
A set of three shimmering seashell topiaries that just look delicious.

beach bottles
Handpainted beach bottles with a festive feel.

handmade shell picture frame
I love the way Janet embellishes her picture frames. Minimal yet striking.

shell embellished hurricane vase
Another great idea, and one of my favorites. A classic, large glass hurricane, hand-encrusted with beautiful seashells.

assorted seashells
Janet also carries assorted seashells and many other decorative items, to see them all visit The Seashell Collection!

Oh! Very pretty - love art with real seashells. Going to work on a wreath project today, if it turns out okay, will post on the blog this week. Have a great Tuesday!

Gorgeous work! I love everything, but that hurricane vase really caught my eye. It reminds me of my shell vases and I know I have one of those vases, another inspirational idea Maya!

One of my readers sent me an email about my vases, I'll have to send her a link to this Etsy store.
