Sea Fan DIY


Today I spend another morning at Mondaymorning market in Amsterdam, and I found Sea Fans there for 4 euros each, i really love the look of them framed in a shadow box or just painted in white, black, grey or coral like in these pictures.

  4. hoi Iris ja op maandag ochtend is er op de noordermarkt de maandagmorgen markt en de lapjes markt. Op ongeveer het eerste eenderde deel van de lapjesmarkt vindt je een man die schelpen verkoopt en die heeft die waaiers. Zeker de moeite waard. Laat me weten of je ze ook gekocht hebt. Kus Chantal

  5. I just came across some of these this weekend.
    They certainly add a sense of airiness to any space.
