Sweet Lady Grey's Seashell Mirror is a lovely example of my Chesapeake decor style. It reminds me of Victorian seashell art boxes, frames, and hand mirrors.

Back in the day, I bought several mirrors, certain that I would be transforming them soon. They laid gathering dust waiting for the right moment in time—today!. I worked the design from the center of the mirror out. It's like walking on a high wire, sometimes—laying out and gluing each ring and not being sure what is going to happen next. It's awesome when the perfect shell motif develops and sets the tone for the overall piece.

This mirror is the smallest of the three and has a heavy metal base. If you wanted, the back could come off and you could insert a picture and make it a picture frame instead. I love it as a mirror, though. You can purchase this mirror from my Chesapeake Street Etsy shop.
