Custom dimensional shell mosaics
Commission a shell-flower love token in a hinged shadowbox
Mermaids Baubles / Melonie Massa
Melonie Massa creates custom sailor’s-valentine mosaics: dimensional flowers and patterns assembled from shells inside an octagonal wooden display box. Her commissioned version lets clients discuss colors, design concepts, a message and even suitable shells of their own. The maker explicitly offers these physical keepsakes as wedding and anniversary gifts.
