My original intention with the sea shell was to make many tiny diorama-type sea shells and sell them (at the seashore--just kidding) as pins. A few years ago, I bought some really tiny reprinted vintage photographs from someone on Etsy. In addition to buttons, sequins, and beads, they seemed perfect for a unique take on the bottlecap pin. But just this one seashell took a while to compose, and then it just sat and sat and sat. It's difficult, as most crafters know, to build an inventory of unique pieces that require time and a unique stash of supplies to create, so this sea shell became a spider instead.
