Decorating With The Whole Tortoise Shell
This publish is a comply with-up to Decorating With Tortoise Shell. While that one targeted on the use of this versatile layout detail in a more conventional and classical way, this submit spotlights the whole shell and how is has emerge as an artwork form that lends itself well to any fashion home. Large turtle shells had been showing up on the walls and shelves of homes for a while now and for house owners that like the usage of natural factors including antlers, taxidermy and shells, a tortoise shell can be a superb addition in your decor. They also are perfect for the animal stimulated or safari interior and look excellent displayed with leopard or zebra add-ons.
As sea turtles are protected, current designers resort to faux tortoise shell plastic and other imitation materials such as resin. I only support the display and use of real turtle shells that are antique or have been shed naturally. Make sure you know the dealer you are buying from.
