How to do it
1 Roll out the clay to fit in the thickness of the frame. Cut the clay into 10 x 10cm squares, so it also fits within the size of the frame. Make another two smaller squares (¼ size).
2 The rough surface is created by pushing a file into the wet clay, for example.
3 Mark the large piece of clay into four squares by lightly pressing the edge of a ruler into it. Push various small beach shells into each square.
4 When the clay is completely dry (approx. 24 hours), you can glue any loose shells back on.
5 Glue the canvas panel onto the back of the frame.
6 Glue the clay relief onto the canvas panel.
7 Finally glue the small clay squares and the shells onto the frame.
