A small relic of the season, gathered from the coast and painted by hand.
The Autumn Edition Hand-Painted Shell Desk Talismans begin with naturally gathered clam and oyster shells, each individually cleaned, prepared, and painted by hand in the Carter Thread Press studio. Their irregular edges, subtle markings, and differences in shape remain visible beneath the finished design, making every piece one of a kind.
Choose your design:
The Lantern (Small) -- a black lantern illuminated with warm brass details
The Oak (Small) -- an oxblood oak leaf edged in brass
The Acorn (Medium) -- an oxblood and black acorn with botanical detailing
The Black Feather (Medium) -- a dark feather traced with warm metallic accents
Each small (1.5" x 2.6") and medium (2"-2.5" x 2.75"-4") talisman arrives nestled in a kraft gift box (3.5" x 3.5" x 1") tied with twine, ready for gifting or adding to a personal collection.
Collected from the coast, transformed by hand, and made to keep.
