A sea shell box in progress

This is an idea that has been percolating in the back of my artistic mind for a couple years off and on. In fact when I first started to use polymer clay my inspiration was to incorporate sea shells and beach glass I have found over the years on the beach. I did attempt to use beach glass over 5 years ago but it didn't go very well so I gave up on that idea until now. I am now the happy owner of several wonderful molds created by by good friend Tina Holden you can find her blog here beadcomber . I have played a bit with the molds and this is my initial results. The starfish, glass and shells are just placed on the box lid for today. What do you think of my prototype?
