“Crabby Confections” — by Local Artist Marilyn Heavener

Marilyn Heavener brings her signature playful elegance to this mixed‑media coastal creation. A vibrant crab takes center stage, crafted from an intricate blend of shells, beads, and hand‑placed embellishments that shimmer against a sandy backdrop. At the heart of the design, unexpected whimsical accents — a tiny starfish, a cheerful gingerbread figure, and a cupcake charm — add a touch of festive delight and storytelling.

Framed with natural elements like driftwood and scattered shells, the piece blends beachside charm with Marilyn’s imaginative, jewel‑box aesthetic. It’s a joyful celebration of Florida coastal life, infused with her unmistakable flair for detail and fun.
