These Works of Art were created by Mother Nature at Lover's Key, FL. It's a great place for shelling.

Pendant framed by a "raw" stitch.
I'm rather pleased with this picture, the hand is high-key-ish and provides a nice backdrop to the pendant, which got some added highlight by a sparkler flash from the front. The usual 60x90 soft-box is used as main light.
Day 89 ... and i learnt a new word: operculum.
I'd discovered quite some time ago what these little shell fragments that one sees on the beach are. To myself, i started calling them "doors". (And there's many a live seashell i've picked up on the reef that has slammed its door in my face). Now i've discovered they have a "real" name: operculum.
Quote: The foot of many gastropods bears an operculum that seals the shell opening (aperture) when the head-foot is retracted into the shell.
In future, i shall try to use the correct term ... but what's the betting that i forget it, and go back to referring to them as "doors".
