Shell for Naomi

Naomi -  This shell is 1 3/8" in height.  Most of the height is made up of the top and bottom swirl or peak.  I can't really make them much smaller and keep an opening in the shell middle.  Let me know your thoughts.  Price 35.00 plus 2.00 USPS or 5.00 Priority.  Thanks - Samma

Awwww....it's a BABY!

Baby sea shells,  baby beads and baby heart.

Looka' their cute lil' tusches ;-DDD

Boro Boro Beach Combing

I've been to Boro Boro Beach again...

in my mind ;-D and gathered up some shells.

Abalone technique

Someone asked what the heck to

do with the boro color Sublime.

I use it to imitate abalone shell. 

Make a piece from TAG Purple Sable then

chop-hack-twist-drag and then encase with Sublime.

Here's a photo of two different pieces and

some genuine abalone shells.

What do you think?

New shell and learning new camera

Starting to pick up a bit of info,

but a long way to go.  Here's a new shell ;-D

Hope you and yours are warm and dry 8-D  Samma
