Beaches and Weddings

A friend of mine got married recently and honeymooned in Hawaii, so for their wedding gift I hunted the beaches of Pismo for the best sand dollar and created a Christmas ornament that I hope they'll cherish forever!



I hand painted the front with acrylics then sealed it with a glossy top coat and glued on the "birds" for the sunset. The "birds" are actually little things found inside the sand dollar, I got these ones from a separate sand dollar. The back I just sealed with the letter "B" for the newlywed's last name. I'm pretty happy with the results and I hope they enjoy it!
