I promise that I’m working diligently to prepare for an upcoming mermaid birthday party; I just don’t have a whole lot of finished product to show here yet!

 

  I do have these beautiful molded candy seashells, though.  Aren’t they lovely?  I used plastic molding trays purchased from Sugarcraft and super white candy melts.  Once the candies were molded and popped out of the trays, I dry-brushed them with a few shades of dusting powder.  Specifically, I used Luster Dust in Salmon and Georgia Peach and Pearl Dust in Super Pearl.  Dusting powders were also purchased from Sugarcraft.  

 

I can’t wait to see how the finished product turns out when I use these for the birthday party, but I can’t tell you just yet what my plans are – you know, in case it doesn’t all pan out.  They sure are pretty, though.  I’m such a sucker for some shimmer.
