Don't fear the reaper... join the Congregation!
I always wanted to do something with the Blue Öyster Cult logo! I also love to pick sea shells on the beach (I must admit I never use them)... so I had an idea! Put them together!

Step 1Pick some shells on the beach. The bigger the better!
-
Step 2Pick one and paint it blue. I used nail polish because it's a little transparent and you can still see the shell's natural drawings.
-
Step 3Take sharpie (one for marking CDs) and write down the letters. I copied the typography, so you must google Blue Oyster Cult and you'll find the pattern! Finally I drew the symbol. I drew it directly on the shell without patterns or schemes.
-
Step 4I varnished it with Mod Podge. DO NOT USE transparent nail polish cause the letters will melt! Probably other varnishes will work too.
-
Step 5Once it's dried, make a hole with a gimlet. Be patient and do not force it because you can break it. It takes a while...
-
Step 6Insert a piece of wire and make a loop on the top to hang the pendant.
-
Step 7Fill the shell with hot glue. Make sure the wire is covered by the glue to avoid losing it. Let it dry.
Paint the glue with something. I used black nail polish cause the blue one was not dark enough.
-
Step 8Finally, add a ring and put a leather cord through it.
Welcome to the Blue Öyster Cult!
To set yourself in the right mood, listen The Congregation by Alice Cooper... :p (not the best song in the world but quite funny)
Yes! I finally made something with a shell!
