Broken Shell

Ayperi — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:27:51 GMT

Hey -
I just bought a set of shell clips with yarn falls and one of the shell clips fell out of my hair while performing on a stage this weekend at the Ren Faire. I'm not sure if it got stepped on or if the fall was particularly hard, but two of the shells broke!

I'm so bummed because I LOVE the clips.

Can you tell me where I could purchase some replacement shells? I think I could fix them, but I don't know where to get those cool shells. I really want to wear them again, but they look silly with broken shells.

Thanks!
- Ayperi

Jareeda Tribal Issue!

Shahlah-Sutra — Sat, 30 Sep 2006 05:29:46 GMT

I have an article in the September Tribal issue, which I was prompted to write it by Synari of Synari Designs and I have to say I'm quite impressed that it turned out as well as it did! It was very late at night and I was pretty punchy so I'm glad that didn't show in my writing, there's some info in there about ShahlahCraft Designs and how it came about as well as a bit about myself. I hope everyone likes it.....and if not.....too bad! :-)

New Design!

Shahlah-Sutra — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 02:51:28 GMT

I'm now going to be making some double set with the tie attachments, basically this design combines two 3 spike sets with flowers in the middle, dangly tribal bits and leather. I came up with this design while down in Redlands for Tribal Cafe, I was repairing two sets and decided to just combine them!

Shell Sets In Stock!

Shahlah-Sutra — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 19:03:59 GMT

Just wanted to let y'all know I have lots of sets in stock for sale, all the sets I currently have available are priced at 60.00 per set and I'll be posting pics soon! Shipping would be an additional 6.00 per set (I will do a shipping discount on multiple sets of course) and applicable usps insurance charges if you want it (I do highly recommend it though).

I am still taking orders for custom sets of course and I can even modify the existing stock to your specifications, additional charges may apply but that will be determined on a case by case basis.

For any orders just email me direct at shahlajewel@earthlink.net (heavy duty spam blocker is on but I do get all emails so don't worry if your message gets bounced back at first) or message me here on tribe. I do take credit cards/bank account transfers through Paypal, cashiers checks and money orders. Thanks!

Care and Feeding of Your Shells

Shahlah-Sutra — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 09:00:55 GMT

I thought it might be a good idea to post some general info about my shell goodies and how to make them last a long time.

Most of the shells I use have been cut to expose the inner chambers, and while this looks really cool, it also compromises the strength of the shell. The shells can be pretty brittle and will break if "sideways" force is exerted on them, meaning if you went to break it like you would break a pencil in half, on the other hand if you were to try to stab one of the spiky ones point first into something it wouldn't break until you bent it to the side. It's just how the shells grow that gives them more strength from one direction but not so much the other, if they were whole they would be very strong all around though. The only time I've ever broken one of mine is when I put it in a bag on top of some veils and then put something hard and heavy on top of them, the squishy base of veils allowed the point to snap off of one but I hot glued it back on and all was good. The moral of the story here is to never put them anywhere where something will get put on top of them, get a separate case for them, like a small Caboodles or something, and they will be quite snug and happy! I've run them into a wall, the top of my truck while getting in, and hit other things with them while wearing them and never had a problem with breakage or anything else bad, just don't get someone in the eye!

I use high temp hot glue for a better bond and I use quite a bit of glue to reinforce the contact points and make sure they don't come apart, after over a year of making these I've never had any of them come apart so I think what I'm doing is working. :-) For the 5 spike sets I also reinforce the attachments with carpet thread so there is something other than just the glue holding everything together. I don't think it would ever get so hot in a car as to melt the glue but I would say don't temp fate and just keep them in a safe cool place at all times, the trunk or back seat floor should be fine.

To clean them just use warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush, this applies for painted sets also just don't get too carried away with the scrubbing.

That's about all I can think of right now but I'll add more if I think of anything else. If there are any questions please feel free to post them in this thread!

Oh, don't drop them either.....
