Best Answer

From the standpoint of structure the opposite of a shell is what is inside the shell, or the interior.

In Biology, the opposite or reverse structure from a shell is a skeleton. (A shell being an exoskeleton.) On the other hand, the contrasting structure in animals that do not have shells could be the skin, an opposite or alternative type of exterior.

How would you wire a seashell to include in a floral arrangement?

You need a small drill to make a hole in the seashell. I find that a Dremmel tool is easiest to work with. Other options are to use a superglue to attach the wire to the backside of the shell. Decide how the shell will fit into your arrangement, then mark the opposite face of the shell to put the wire into. Drill slowly into the shell at the mark and insert the wire into the hole that you made. Twist the wire gently to secure the shell and to not damage a delicate shell. Insert into the arrangement.
