Decorative mussel shell heart

Decorative heart motifs are very in vogue, especially where they’ve been produced using recycled or reclaimed materials (like this driftwood heart, for example).

In this instance, it’s mussel shells that have been utilised in a creative way and don’t they work well! The shells have lovely shades of indigo, blue and white and the way they’ve been put together brings with it a sense of movement and swirls within the heart shape.

Handmade in Devon, the mussel shell heart measures 22cm by 19cm. It can be purchased from Vintage Living for £18.99.
