Beautiful Debris is a delicate Shellfolk piece shaped like a small flowering form. Made from ocean debris, it's base is made from fish bone, the delicate balls are dried seaweed air bladders. Its leaves and stem lift lightly upward, creating a fragile, hopeful shape. In the story The Tide Continued, from the book Stories Of The Shore, it is described as ocean debris that looked, somehow, miraculously, quite beautiful.

Cane is a Shellfolk pelican figure formed from pale, translucent fish bones with natural variations of cream, amber, and soft grey. His long beak and extended neck curve forward in a poised, attentive posture. One wing is lifted and swept back, giving the impression of motion paused mid-watch rather than flight begun or ended. He stands on a warm pink scallop shell base that suggests shoreline rock or shallow water. The surface of the shells shows natural markings and weathering, reinforcing a sense of age, experience, and long observation.

Pelicans are from the scientific order Pelecaniformes, the family Pelecanidae and the genus Pelecanus, from where he gets his name Cane.

Eddy is a compact, balanced figure resting on a cluster of pale coral, with an open, attentive posture that feels both alert and contained. The form appears slightly forward-leaning yet supported, as if always adjusting to subtle changes beneath it. In the story, Eddy carries two inner voices, each shaped by different experiences of the sea. One is quick to warn, the other slower to soothe, and neither is wrong. Eddy’s place in the Shellfolk world is about balance rather than resolution, learning to hold care and caution together without letting either take over.

A Shellfolk figure with a full skirt formed from layered fan shells, a fitted shell bodice, and a small basket held at her side. She wears a wide-brimmed shell hat and stands upright with a composed, attentive posture. In the stories, Jessica is known for noticing small details and recognising quiet changes that others overlook.

Pebble Pete is a playful Shellfolk figure built around a smooth, rounded stone body, giving him a grounded and reassuring presence. His wide eyes are made from small dark shells set into a pale shell head, giving him an open, curious expression. A visible metal spring forms his neck, allowing his head to bob gently. He has bright blue feet decorated with small painted details, adding a sense of lightness and movement. Soft red pipe cleaner arms extend from beneath his shell head, one holding a small shell as if mid conversation. Pebble Pete appears in the story of Pebble Pete and Pete’s Pool, where his calm relationship with change helps others understand that unfamiliar sensations, like shifting tides, are not something to fear.

Poly is a small, curved Shellfolk creature with a looping, segmented body that twists gently as if caught mid-movement. Made from layered marine forms, Poly’s shape suggests motion and quiet persistence. Poly appears in the Shellfolk stories as a listener and witness, present where small things matter.

The Little Mice are two small, round Shellfolk figures with shell bodies, tiny feet, and fine whiskers. Their forms are simple and companionable, standing close together as if in conversation. In the stories, they appear as quiet observers, moving through the world side by side.

A rounded bowl form densely covered in layered seashells of varied size and colour, arranged to create a textured, mosaic-like surface. Larger fan-shaped shells form a central band, surrounded by smaller rounded shells and spirals. In the story world, the teaching bowl appears as a shared object, used as a place of gathering, holding, and quiet instruction among the Shellfolk.
