#seashell problems

For my next project I decided to decorate a round mirror. It’s proving surprisingly challenging. I usually love a yellow littorina shell trim, but after finishing this row, I am underwhelmed. I wanted more of a pop, but this is rather dull against the wooden frame. When I’m finished with the mirror, the wood will be completely covered, so this won’t be a problem in the end. Still, I’m considering pulling the row and beginning again. It’s fairly easy to change now, but becomes much harder when other seashells rest close behind them. I can’t envision what it will look like and I’m not sure how I want to proceed. Hmm…
