Shell design by Tomoko Fuse
Medium: 30x30 double tissue paper
CP: Here
This is the hermit crab from the CP a few days ago. The layers got very thick, especially towards the opening of the shell. Especially since there is a brown stripe running down the middle of the shell. Perhaps I can fold the edges of the white side paper underneath so I can get a good spiral effect...
I also don't really have a good locking mechanism - I just curved the two edges of the shell underneath to "lock" it. The shell is of course the Navel shell from Tomoko Fuse's SPIRAL book. The shell isn't exactly 3D, which is what I prefer for hermit crab designs, but it works nevertheless, as I had this shell in mind when designing.
This picture shows the "navel" of the shell design.
Shells in their natural environment

It's the 1930s, it's dusk and the tank on your Chevy pickup is almost empty. Off in the distance, you see a reassuring glow, a rainbow of dark green, yellow, red and blue that gets stronger the closer you get to the locally run service station.
You pull up to a row of 10-foot-tall pumps, each one with a unique logo and colour scheme designed to make it stand out in the crowd. Unlike the utilitarian pumps of today, all of which are owned by a single corporation whose inoffensive logo is stamped on the side of the attached Kwik-E-Mart, these pumps have personality. You might be choosing between bright-green Polly Gas with its parrot on a perch, Imperial Oil's three stars, Frontier's rarin'-to-go stallion, the United Farmers of Alberta's maple leaf, or Sinclair's dinosaur ( "mellowed 100 millions of years").
The corn shelling machine was made in my neighborhood but we saw it at a farmhouse in King's Landing, New Brunswick. Apparently this was a high tech device in the 1860's.

On 7 July 2025 the We're Here group were spotting Shells.
Several of the steps at South Staffordshire golf course are surfaced with shells. I don't know why; the course is a long way from the coast.
The Saturdays of 2011 - 20/53
I put my last pack of Time Zero film into my SX-70, but it was ooooold: smelly film pack, frames stuck to each other, battery struggling. So I popped it out, but the mirror was stuck. The best cure for a stuck mirror is to put in a working pack, so I went for som Fade To Black I've still got. I think the stuck mirror was confused as it didn't spit the darkslide out immediately.
No bother - tripod mount, close-up attachment, shell; click. Nothing. Click again, and out it comes, but clearly the film had been hooked forward a little before exposure, hence the dark patch at the bottom, and the framing much higher than it was in the viewfinder. Oh, and I accidentally nudged the exposure wheel towards dark. I don't mind though: I like this underwater shell...
Scanned within 5 minutes of taking.

Theses scallop shells hang outside a dorset seafood restaurant. I love their colours, shape , the ridges. Photo edited with vignette to enhance the shells and the rope they are hanging from .
While we're on gas pumps, I happened to remember this old shot from a bike tour many years ago. Pre digital days, the photo was most likely taken with one of the small Olympus clam shell cameras.
