A small object for the desk, shelf, or reading room.
The Hand-Painted Shell Talismans begin with naturally gathered clam and oyster shells, each one cleaned, prepared, and individually painted by hand in the Carter Thread Press studio. The shell’s original contours, markings, and irregular edges remain part of the finished piece, making every talisman slightly different from the next.
The medium collection features three motifs drawn from the visual world of Carter Thread Press.

Collected from the coast, transformed by hand, and made to keep.
