About the author
An avid seashell collector without a suitable place to display her treasure, Judy was inspired to cover a lamppost when she and her husband rented a cottage in Exuma, an island in the Bahamas. In the cozy livingroom, a gorgeous seashell lamp graced the quaint cottage and drew their attention each time they walked into the room.
"You'd think it'd be an easy thing to glue some seashells onto a lamppost, wouldn't you?" Judy thought so too! But, like many things, experience taught her otherwise. A retired teacher, Judy decided to photograph her progress and pass her knowledge on to her readers. Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions on collecting and transporting, sorting and assembling, designing, and affixing will help you avoid pitfalls and reward you with a stunning creation in four days or fewer.
Striking photographs from the author's collection will inspire you to make your best creation. You'll never be able to pass by a shell or fragment again without considering how it might best fit into your own seashell lamp.
Your unique design will add a special dimension to your home and provide pleasure for years to come.
