So shine your light while you got one...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sand was soft of porous. It only held the water for a couple of seconds before drying up, so timing was important. It created a beautiful reflection I think.
The seashell was very thin at some places which made it possible for the sunlight to shine through. This created a very nice golden light which I tried to capture.
Our tables were named after beaches, and they used these shells for place cards. The bows tell the servers what we're eating: Anne is having Soylent White, and my mom is having Soylent Green

Bizarre image - an artist deserts his model, races to fill his car with Shell from the pumps just outside the door to his studio. World War 2 petrol rationing has just ended. Presented in a downbeat pastiche of mid-century realism. 1953
Love these, but can't remember where I picked them up. These days I tend to just take photos and leave the shells on the beach
A small coloured pencil drawing testing colours and papers for a larger picture. This one is done on gesso with a little texture where the water is but I decided I prefer a smooth surface.
Abalone shells have such a terrific texture and yield such a fantastic "meat" when prepared properly.
made with a cedar twig found in the yard, fingering weight merino, some beachcombed shells and feathers, and a bit of hand dyed wool.
Little 6" white chocolate mud cake, coated in white chocolate ganache and then covered in fondant. The shells are gumpaste.
The inside of each Abalone Shell, away from where it attaches to the shell, is polished by the mollusc itself as it moves.

The Shell Grotto, Pontypool | Groto Cregyn
The Shell Grotto was originally constructed circa 1794, although many improvements were made by Molly, the wife of Capel Hanbury-Leigh around 1830.
Molly is credited with the interior design and it is known that she subscribed to the publication "Follies and Grottoes".
The Shell Grotto is circular, built of rough stone with a conical stone tiled roof. The ceiling is vaulted and supported by six pillars decorated with stones and shells. The floor is reputed to be made from deer bones but closer inspection reveals a variety of bones and teeth from a number of different animals.
The Shell Grotto was always a popular attraction for sightseers but was, unfortunately, allowed to fall into decay around thirty years ago. However, it's structure rose from the ashes in 1996 when it was painstakingly restored with funding from Cadw and European Aid.
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.
