While this station appears as if it has always been at the Gilmore Car Museum, it is actually an accurate re-creation of an early 1930's Shell Station, complete with all the tools of full service garage from the period. Inside, you will find a vast display of Shell memorabilia, gas pump globes, a 1950 Ford Shell pickup, as well as clean restrooms. Constructed on site in 1998 with the help of many volunteers, the station serves as the Museum’s Interpretive Center and central gathering place for tours. Utilizing original 1929 blueprints in the design and the placement of the vintage Shell gas pumps and signage add to the sense of authenticity.
The porcelain signs that adorn the building hold special significance to the Museum. They were originally part of Hickory Corners’ own Shell Station, which was once located only three miles down the road from the Museum.
Balanus amphitrite (little on on the side of the biggest barnacle) and probably is Megabalanus californicus. The pinkest shells in front are from off the coast of southern California. The big one in back (with the little barnacle on its side) is another megabalanus and is from Australia. The little barnacle (sideways) is Balanus amphitrite.
Actor Lucy Lawless joins Greenpeace New Zealand activists in stopping a Shell-contracted drillship from departing the port of Taranaki for the remote Arctic, where its exploratory oil drilling programme threatens to devastate the Alaskan coastline. Six Greenpeace New Zealand activists, along with Lawless, famous for her roles in Xena: Warrior Princess and Spartacus, have boarded the vessel, scaled its 53 metre drilling derrick and are hanging banners from its summit, reading ìStop Shellî and ì#SaveTheArctic.î They are equipped with survival gear and enough supplies to last for several days.

One of the "shell trees" on Wild Beach at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge / Assateague Island National Seashore. Visitors like to decorate the remnants of trees, once in the marsh but now overtaken by the beach as it shifts.

Getting better. This is for the Strathmore watercolor sketching workshop I'm taking.
I'm trying two new things today. First I tried a technique called the double transfer. It's used by scientific illustrators to make an exact drawing. I photographed the shells on a white background remembering to overexposed the image by +1 E.V. (stop) in order to get a good white. I then transferred the file to my iPad, cropped it in Photogene, sized it in Pages, and printed it to plain paper using my Epson NX430 wireless printer. I then traced the shells onto thin tracing paper using a soft pencil. Here's where the double transfer comes in. You fold the tracing paper so that more tracing paper covers the original tracing. You then burnish the tracing with your fingernail or the edge of a spoon to transfer the graphite to the back of the folded piece. You then transfer that image to your art material by placing the tracing paper with the graphite down and burnishing again. By transferring the graphite twice you don't get a mirror image. If you do it right, you get a very faint pencil outline of your subject that is photo accurate. It's an interesting process to try, but I don't think I'll use it very often. It's more suitable for a finished illustration than for sketching. I'd rather just do a quick drawing.
The other new thing I tried today was to use my iPad to scan and upload my sketch to Flickr. In the past I used my desktop computer to scan, edit and upload. The Epson NX430 printer is also a wireless scanner. So, I scanned the sketch directly to my iPad, rotated, straightened, cropped, and resized the image in Photogene, and used FlickStackr to upload it to my Flickr photos.

These grotty shells were everywhere on this fence...quite disgusting really, but made for interesting detail. I like the line of the fence and quite like that the post itself is slightly off centre. There's a spider up the top right too that looks great up close!
