Artist Peggy Green only needs a few seashells and a little glue to create a timeless country accent. She specializes in Victorian-style seashell-covered boxes and uses both old and new shells. The old shells are found at estate sales or from collectors who've had them for years. She's got them all organized by type, color and shape in drawers and clear jars in her living room that's been converted into a large studio. When creating her boxes she starts with the lid, using specially-formulated glue to attach a border of tiny shells. The rest of the shells are pieced together like a puzzle until she finds the perfect fit for each.
