I recently fell in love with sea fans while perusing the August 2011 issue of Living. There's a great tutorial on working with sea fans. Find it here: Sea Fan How-To. This is a sconce how-to, but really once you get the gist of working with a sea fan, you can apply it to a number of possibilites.
Since I'm on a design kick and starting with my home office, I found some pictures for inspiration. Will I use sea fans? I'm not sure yet, but I will definitely use them somewhere in my home.

And of course Etsy sellers always have the greatest stuff.

If you're asking, "What else can I do with sea fans?" Here's some ideas:
- Stand upright and secure on a sturdy base for a sculpture
- Put behind glass for instant framed artwork.
- Use in a sea life/seashell 3D collage.
- Place in a shadow box.
- Place on top of a decorative box and seal.
