The art of ornamental shellwork, initially a European tradition, has been around since the early 18th century. In her exquisite book, THE SHELL - A World of Decoration & Ornament, Ingrid Thomas writes: "The Rococo style of the 18th century was dominated by feminine taste and influence. As well as showing off their grottoes, ladies of society competed for the most elaborate and elegant interior decorations. The availability of foreign shells, many of them of dazzling beauty, suggested a new pastime that would introduce a different kind of decoration into their houses. Thus alongside the traditional pursuits of tapestry and embroidery there emerged a new hobby, shellwork, the perfect embodiment of the Rococo ideal." By the late 18th century this art which started off as a pastime for the rich only, had spread to become vogue among ladies of culture. The accomplished shell artist of the time, Mary Delany, was a highly respected member of the cultural and social elite in England and she said: "I've got a new madness! I'm running wild for shells. The beauty of shells is as infinite as flowers." A while ago I decided it would be rather fun to combine two of my passions: producing trumeau mirrors and the art of shellwork. You see, I too am running wild for shells now! Making the trumeau was not as difficult as it may seem. I just stuck to the basic formula we use in Module 6 of our online course: Construct a basic background, add mouldings, beadings and mirror glass, but here comes the twist. Instead of using pressed or cast ornaments, I used shells as decoration. I also applied the different layers of home made paint, before adding any shells. After the first coat of paint I made and applied a gap filler where needed, followed by more paint. After the paint had dried, I started with the oval at the top. First I set the shells out to find the correct design. Once I was satisfied with that, I made a gesso-like mixture which I applied to the flat surface inside the oval and placed the shells back in position. Next up I tackled the detail below the mirror in the same fashion. Then I decided to add detail around the mirror itself. I did have more than enough shells, but just not always the right size. This caused some delays as I first needed to collect the missing shells. They proved to be rather illusive. Eventually I was ready to adhere them to the frame. I used narrow strips of sticky tape to lift the shells off the frame, applied my mixture, placed the strips of shells back in position and then carefully removed the tape once the mixture was set. The next step was to attach the shells that I had laid out like a jigsaw puzzle in the side panels. I used the same method as before, but opted for a wider packing tape with which I transferred the shells. I added some accent colours, waited for them to dry and then the real fun began. My favourite part in the whole painting process, is the distressing. This is where I expose the underlying coats of paint and create a "history" for my trumeau. Finally I added shells as corner details and my work was done! I'll be off to the beach for more shells soon. Happy Painting!

Mine is the business of creating patina. No! Let me rephrase that. Mine is the business of RECREATING patina. You see, for me, there is a vast difference between the two. Creating patina means you buy a few modern ready-made products off the shelf, slap a couple of layers onto a piece and then call it antiqued. This option does not work for me. It looks fake and lacks depth. Now, recreating patina is something totally different. Seeing the real thing helps me understand vintage and antique pieces. Studying them, allows me to see how they've aged naturally over the years. For that, I photograph real antiques with real patina at every opportunity I get. I always have one or more of these pieces in mind when I set out to paint a piece with many different kinds of old-fashioned paints from original old recipes and then merely speed up the ageing processes. If you, like me, have a passion for patina, then I would like to share this with you. You don't need to pay a lot of money to visit museums or pluck up the courage to go into upmarket antique shops where you'll probably be frowned upon for taking photographs. There are many other places to photograph these gems for free and if you're fortunate enough to find yourself there, what better place to do this than in Paris! Or for that matter, in the French countryside! WINDOW SHOPPING AT NIGHT There are many high-end antique shops in the 6th and 7th Arrondissements of Paris and walking from shop to shop at night, taking photographs and stopping for coffee at Les Deux Magots or Café de Flore on Boulevard Saint-Germain, is a great way to explore and experience the area without the normal daily hustle and bustle. MARKETS My favourite being Marché aux Puces St-Ouen de Clignancourt (Saint-Ouen Flea Market) in Paris. One day at this market is simply not enough. Be sure to ask before you start snapping away. Some vendors may take offence. ON THE STREETS In Paris ... Montmartre, 18th arrondissement, Paris Maison de Balzac ~ 47 Rue Raynouard, 16th arrondissement, Paris Île Saint-Louis, 4th arrondissement, Paris Île Saint-Louis, 4th arrondissement, Paris ...and in the countryside Paulhaguet, Auvergne, Haute-Loire Le Puy-en-Velay, Auvergne, Haute-Loire EVEN PAINTED WALLS CAN BE A GREAT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND REFERENCE Fix-Saint-Geneys, Auvergne, Haute-Loire La Chaise-Dieu, Haute-Loire Cathédrale Notre-Dame-du-Puy ~ Le Puy-en-Velay, Auvergne, Haute-Loire La Samaritaine ~ Rue de Rivoli, 1st arrondissement, Paris PARKS Take a break from the busy streets in the Jardin du Luxembourg (Luxembourg Gardens) and find these painted bees on a gatepost at the entrance of the apiary. best of all ... CHURCHES and CATHEDRALS There are so many of them and they all have the most beautiful pieces to photograph. Most of them are open all day and evening and very often quite deserted. If you're visiting for the purpose of photographing, be sure it's not during a service.

Arlmont & Co. Gardez les oies et les hérons loin de votre étang avec le leurre de cygne flottant Arlmont & Co. Ce leurre de cygne réaliste présente un aspect réaliste conçu pour protéger votre étang contre les parasites comme la bernache du Canada. Les oies causent plusieurs problèmes pour les étangs et les caractéristiques de l'eau, principalement en broutant et en créant un excès de déchets, conduisant à de mauvaises conditions d'eau pour vos poissons d'étang. D’autres ravageurs et prédateurs, comme le héron, se nourrissent de poissons d’étang, menant à la perte de poissons. En raison de la nature du cygne, les oies et les hérons évitent souvent les endroits où ils trouvent un cygne, ce qui aide à garder votre étang propre, sécuritaire et sain. Chaque cygne est fabriqué en polyrésine durable avec une finition résistante aux intempéries pour des années d'utilisation sans problème. Le leurre peut être utilisé flottant sur l'eau ou sur la terre ferme et comprend un onglet d'ancrage qui facilite la fixation du cygne. | Arlmont & Co. Statue de cygne flottant Baileyrae

Stunning photo of a swan with four cygnets (babies) in springtime. The mother is illustrating how to pull weeds out of the water to eat. The cygnets are attentively watching her. The fluffy babies are adorable. These cygnets are very young, and have only been born a few days ago. The gorgeous white feathers of the swan contrasts beautifully with the vivid blue of the water and the green weeds.
