Nice looking ornament. Just out of curiosity, is there a reason to orient the urchin shell in that direction rather than the other way around? I've seem most in the opposite direction from what you've used. This is really nice and gives a great presentation. I'm just curious as to what your thoughts were to turn it this way. 8-)

All - Thanks all for the positive feedback.
Rev - most of the Sea Urchins I have done have also been oriented in the other direction as well. However, this year I started reversing them on some shells because I think it shows off the color in the shell better as well as gives them a different look.
