How to Create a framed Art piece of seashells on sand?

I am trying to create a framed Art piece that has a beach sand background with seashells, sealife, etc. glued onto the sand. However, I am having trouble knowing how I should glue the sand on and what the best material to use. Also, how will the heavy shells will stick to the sand. What kind of glue is best for sticking shells onto real sand and what is the best material to use for sticking purposes i.e. a canvas or an actual picture frame with construction paper? HELP!

Another way
1) frame the size you need and the depth for the shells, especially if you are going to add glass to cover.
2) foundation, wood, for heavy board (foam board)
3) depending on what size you are shoot for and exactly what you have in mind…you could mix you sand into a thick acrylic medium and actually put it on the foundation with a pallet knife or trowel on thick as you want. Have your shell handy and know how you are going to arrange them and press them each into the thick sand/acrylic medium. Let it dry. Shells may be stuck fine at that time, but you may need to pull them off and re-attach in same place with another glue.
4) You could find a picture or paint the back ground with some sea and clouds and put the shells at the bottom with the sand/acrylic mixture.

5) clean and frame. Line sides of frame with strips of foam core painted or covered to look nice. The foam strips will hold in the glass and make a place for your art work to sit.
email me if this doesn’t make sense and I’ll draw you a diagram.www.lynarts@flash.net
