Sometimes you feel like you’ve sat somewhere so long you’ll grow barnacles. This ring makes that happen sooner. 3 conchs surround a dozen arthropods in resin.

Ring-A-Day: Sponge and Shells Ring
The sea biscuit (not the horse, the shell) had the same problem as the pink umbonium shells — it floats. I came back to my resin 8 hours later to find the sea biscuit trying to escape. The red stuff was some sponge that washed ashore. It was velvety red when I found it. Drying in the sun, it got a little dull. The resin brought back the wet color.

Ring-A-Day: Fisherman’s Ring
I found a pair of hooks in the ocean, luckily not with my feet. They’re safely embedded in resin now. Some other fun shore finds are encased with them.

Ring-A-Day: Crabby Seascape Ring
Crabby ring with starfish and shark teeth. Found this little guy washed up on shore. The birds hadn’t eaten him yet. Like some snakes, they might not eat dead things. You can see his belly from the shank side.

Ring-A-Day: Pink Umbonium Seashell Ring
Umbonium shells are tiny gems from the sea. I arranged them from large to small in concentric rings. When I poured the resin on, the tiny shells began to float. Next time, I’ll lay down a thin layer first.
