How I did it: i kind of did it without planning to.  i covered a ceramic plant pot with seashells that we picked up out at the beach, and also affixed sand to it.  it turned out nice and ended up being a nice sentimental piece (collected the shells on v-day, made the pots on our anniversary).  i couldn't completely finish it though because the shells won't stick anymore!?  i'm not sure why.  i didn't finish the first day and put it all up in the outside storage, and now the glue doesn't seem to be as adhesive or dry as quickly.  the only thing i can think of is that the temperature changes it experienced in that storage somehow changed the chemical structure of the glue...?  i dunno, kind of a bummer.  but i did enough the first day that i can put the unfinished side against a wall inconspicuously.  yeah for half assing!
