Oyster Shell Mirror

"For several years I’ve been hankering for an Oyster Shell Mirror. I’ve seen them at various stores, but could never justify the hefty price tag. Since I had many bushels of oysters from a past project sitting in my garage, the seed (or pearl?) was planted that I could make one myself. And since I just never really loved the stenciled mirror I made several months ago, I had the round piece of wood with a mirror in the middle. With those two critical oyster shell mirror ‘ingredients’ sitting in my home, it was just a matter of taking the time to put 2 and 2 together."
