It is very easy to take these home from a restaurant. They are from New Zealand and supposedly good for arthritis! I cleaned them out and divided them into a left hand pile and a right hand pile. I found this piece of wood on my travels around Jaffa. I filled the left handed shells only with foods, spices and flowers from my kitchen.
Glued, lined up and ready to receive foods!
22 in order from left to right. Indian masala tea, hibiscus, green split peas, mallow flowers, chilli seeds, sunflower seeds, desiccated coconut, black peppercorns, sage, sushi rice, walnut, clove, poppy seed, saffron, pickling red peppercorn, cardamom, mung beans, pine nuts, caraway seeds, sesame seeds, Himalayan salt, nutmeg.
I lined up the right handed shells in size order and glued them together with my glue gun to create a solid object. It could be used as a paper weight – but who uses them anymore? I leave it in my garden as a decorative piece.
An of the moment project to see what I could make.
