shell mosaic--the encounter of nature and handraft

Recently, I am interested in shells very much. At previously time, shell only means a symbol of the sea for me. But now, I have another understanding. Shells is a kind of art that is made by nature.

In many hotels, restaurants or KTV, we can see the figure of shells. It is after numerous carving, grinding that they can represent this beautiful state. Before this state, do you know what they are?

Many fisherman salvaged shells, after washing, peeling, measuring, cutting, grinding and other steps, these shells can present so a beautiful look. Although these steps sounds very simple, a shell takes 500 hand crafted, more than 50 pure manual craft, the polishing of 50 times to present a final appearance. In addition, every shell can only take 3 to 4 pieces mosaic chip. From that, we can know that every piece of mosaic is painstaking care crystallization of people.

Firstly, Shell mosaic is natural and environmental. The raw material comes from sea without any additive. Using these mosaics to decorate home, we can have a safe living condition. Secondly, these mosaics adopted pure manual craft so that they are very safe. Last but not the least, light space, and the texture reflect artistic psyche, dignity and magnificence.
