Underside of the barnacle votive holder.
Note: if I were to sell these, I would glue the barnacles onto a cork base or, at the very least, a felt base to give the piece a better finished look.

Here is some information about the glue pot/glue skillet I am using in my latest reel.
This product was created for Grace Monroe Home Designs by the company shorebonder and is available on Amazon. I recommend purchasing the skillet glue pellets also.

If you don't have shell book resources may I recommend these to you.

Any books by master naturalists Blair and Dawn Witherington

Seashells of the Florida panhandle
By the Gulf Coast Shell club

And a field guide to shells of North America by the National Audubon Society

Most of these are available on Amazon

I also recommend you check out Gulf Coast Shell club and the Jacksonville Shell club as well as resources from the Bailey Matthew's Shell Museum and Nova University, plus the Florida wildlife commission . org
