This is a shell I picked up at one of the state parks. I like how there's an area that looks sort of like a resting place for your thumb. That same spot also reminds me of a setting sun. In this picture, I'm holding the shell in front of the sun, to let some natural light through the sheerer areas.
Shells on beach at Big Talbot Island. The bridge on the left is a fishing bridge and the one on the right is for cars....I like how they look like they meet.

This location opened in fall 2000, replacing an older 1960s-built Shell/Miller Mart #66 that sat on the same site (known as "Bayberry Shell").
The unknown story of the broken sea shells collectors
At Uadaypur sea beach (3km from Digha at the Bengal-Orissa state border), hundreds of poor villagers (80% of them are women) gather on a particular time of the day at the peak of the low tide. They all carry a small net basket for collecting broken shells following the line of the waves. When the baskets are half-filled they empty their catch at the beach and go back to the waves again. Finally the shells are packed in bags for selling. After two hours of continuous hard work, two people together can fill only a 30-kg bag selling for INR Rs 30 (USD 50 cents) only.
The shells are rich source of calcium carbonate, use in feeder mainly at the India's growing poultry industry. Also, it has great demand in making the white (lime) paint. Traders and middlemen are always waiting to exploit these poor villagers. They make on-the-spot payment, collect the bags and transport them to the local market for a hefty profit of 300% by selling each bag for at least Rs 100 (USD $ 2).
I personally talked to the shell collectors and found no Govt. intervention to stop this exploitation. The state government can easily intervene by forming a cooperative and collecting the shells themselves by their nodal agencies with a reasonable price.

This image of the Virgen de Guadalupe is in the MAP museo collection in Mexico City. I think it's made from a mosaic of sea shells like abalone and mother of pearl - can't remember, sorry
This is LEGO(R) model 377 Shell Station or Shell Service Station from 1978. It is a Town set released and contains a Shell gas station, a car and two mini-figures.
The strings were done using the rope macro by Chris Bartlet. They came out okay, but I probably could have played some more with the "lay over" feature to make drape more over the bricks.
I also used blob for the first time to create the female pigtail object. It came out pretty good, although you can't really see it in this photo. I'm rendering 386 Air Ambulance again with the correct hair piece to see if it looks as good when less obscured.
