This is one of the seashells that my daughters collected on the beaches in California. After making sure no creepy crawlies were coming out of it, I tried to photograph it in hopes that we wouldn't need to keep it if we had a picture. No such luck, they are packrats!

I am not sure if these can be called 'wagashi', or maybe 'hinagashi'?

If there is a certain Japanese name for this type of candy, please feel free to comment and let me know. :o)

I bought several boxes of these in the Daimaru food hall in Tokyo last April, and almost a year later, I found one forgotten box in my cupboard, still gift-wrapped. I would not want to give it to anyone now, as the expiration date has long since passed, but they are still pretty to look at.

cropping ideas welcomed

“I am a tiny seashell

that has secretly drifted ashore

and carries the sound of the ocean

surging through its body.”

I ordered some more seashells for wood and side firing. I was down to the gallon container on the right. I ordered 10 gallons from Shell Horizons on the internet. They were cheap, $5.00 per gallon. Also, shipping costs were low. Seashells can be expensive or hard to find on the local level. These shells, pectins, are from 1 1/2 to 3 inches across. I have successfully used these shells to make marks both in the woodfire and in the gas kiln.

Reflections of a seashell souveneir I got from San Diego. You can see the words San Diego in the mirror.

Good enough for the Reflections contest in ELCC?

Bought this last year for our "Hawiian" theme in Tennis.

And another Memory Wall in the background!

Another seashell yarn. What can I say?

For those not in the know, I spin this sort of yarn often.

I take hand dyed roving in beachy colors and spin in the order of sand, water, sky.

There are real Hawaiian shells strung onto sturdy holographic thread and plied in.

When knit, you get a sort of landscape. 89 yards, 2.7 oz.

Got this new photo table with plexiglass cover and was playing with adding the flash under the table for these seashell shots. Pretty cool
