sailors valentines & shell art
Sailors Valentines are a form of shell craft featuring an arrangement of small sea shells in an octagonal frame. The original art-form dates back to the early 19th century. Sailors Valentines were designed to be brought home from a sailor’s voyage at sea, and given as a gift to a loved one.
