The dried shell of a sea urchin, without its prickly cover. There are many of these scattered along the beach here where I'm staying in Maine.

Miller's (2,579 square feet)

12245 Jefferson Ave, Newport Marketplace, Newport News, VA

This store was built in 1985. It was formerly a Happy Store Fuel Mart that became a Mobil/Miller Mart combo in 1994.

These 10 year olds were not put off by the idea of painting these shells without pencil first. They then used a line drawing on an acetate overlay to create an extra dimension.

I know, shells again :D This one was for the course I'm doing and I quite liked it. And yes, the shells came home with me!

My policy is to take a photograph and toss them back, as I think our beach needs all the sand it can get.

Picked through shells, fiddled with it for an hour. Just need to glue everything down.
