    Very nice. What a clever idea to use driftwood. I will borrow that idea if you don't mind.

    Thanks Joe, you are welcome to the idea especially since I got the idea of the spindles from Cindy Drozda. BTW it is illegal to "harvest" driftwood from Georgia or Florida. Don't ask how I found out but believe me it was definitely a surprise.

    Nice ornaments and icicles! The driftwood is neat too! The shape and color of that first urchin reminds me of the ones found along the coast of Maine. Over the last 15 years, a big market developed for harvesting them during the winter months. The roe is considered a delicacy when eaten raw. Can't say I have ever tried it. The idea of scuba diving for them around the offshore ledges when temps are below freezing doesn't appeal to me either!

    once i began to look for the shells i was amazed at the different types. There are some the size of a marble to larger than a grapefruit and many colors, pinks greens whites and blues...The entire process has been very enjoyable.
