Worm Shells
Mirror of 1000 Worm Shells
I found some of my favorite shells at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel this morning……WORM SHELLS! It has been so hard to find these shells the last 2 years with the tips intact that I was happy when I found the first one. Then I found a few more! After Hurricane Charley, Clark and I found enough WORM SHELLS with tips for me to make this mirror of over 1000 of them. I hope that more will be rolling in this week on the beach in front of the pool bar where I found these. It will be a good place to celebrate if I continue to find even more this week.

I wasn’t the only happy sheller this morning. Pat is staying at Casa Ybel Resort so she didn’t have far to go to find treasures to make her happy. She found URCHINS, SCALLOPS, COCKLES and a cool CLAM shell that had gorgeous CORAL growing on half of it.
I’m sure I’ll see you tomorrow, Pat. Hopefully, we’ll both be celebrating big finds at the pool bar.
That mirror is so beautiful! Worm shells – we don’t get them in this part of the world. You are so lucky!
this mirror is so extraordinary,and beautiful. but all the worm shells i see in the pics are not pink? are they a diff kind? sheri
I love this mirror. I am going to try to make me one.Its so much different than the other ones Ive seen. This ones so unique.I really like it a lot.We are having a stone crab festival oct. 23, 24. You should try to come.
I like your mirror, you have an extraordinary talent.Your mirror is unique.
Pam, what kind of glue did you use to glue the wormies to the mirror?
I used indoor/outdoor construction clear silicone. It’s thick enough to get the shells to stay in place while it dries. I wanted it to be steam and water resistant because I made it originally to go in the bathroom so this worked for me. I figured if it was good enough for windows and shower doors, it was good enough for this. Good luck for whatever you choose!
That mirror is absolutely incredible!
Beautiful! You were telling me about this at Blind Pass yesterday….but had NO idea how amazing it was. So glad to see a picture! Thank you for sharing ( :
This mirror is absolutely stunning. Did you make the frame you attached the shells to or did you use a store bought mirror with frame? My husband & I are having a “discussion” about it. How heavy is it? And how can you carry it around without the shells breaking? Hope my questions aren’t too nosey but I just love it and can’t imagine making something so beautiful.
Thanks, Carolyn
