I had an idea for a background for this one involving ice planets and the hollowed out shells of giant creatures used as the exoskeleton and armor for rocket powered mecha that skate along the ice, but nothing in the way of cool names has popped into my head.
Bracelet made by local coastal dweller of (Papua) New Guinea. Acquired by Andrew Goldie, a Scottish explorer of (Papua) New Guinea between 1830-1880. Brought home to Millport. Given to Museums of the Cumbraes 1970.
The bracelet is made from a local mollusc shell. It has been carved and smoothed in order to wear on the wrist. Slightly chipped to overlap. It is mainly cream in colour and with brown speckled patterns at the overlap. The patterns are natural.
Bought from unknown local coastal dweller. The inhabitants at this time were still relying on bone, wood and stone tools and consequently had a productive agricultural system. They traded along the coast when Europeans first arrived with shell ornaments and foodstuffs. Little was known of the inhabitants until the late 19th century. Consequently little is still unknown about Andrew Goldie, but that the main Goldie River is named after him.

I found these shoes for under $10. I tucked them away, and rediscovered them again rooting through my pile of.... The leather sole is sumptuous, but I'm unsure if the straps will hold up to city streets. It's funny how my nails are painted the same color as the shell. I recently noticed my pseudo-Fred Flintstone toes, on my left foot, do a weird grip/curl thing. I'm not sure if I like that....
an empty empty Moreton Bay Bug shell left amongst the rocks. No doubt thrown there by a human predator.
These pupils were encouraged to draw these shells from life using only watercolour and paintbrushes. I think the colours and textures are brilliant

I struggle with getting a good photograph of this shell. On the one hand it is incredibly detailed; and yet on the other, it is so hard to get those details to appear in camera. I shot this with back lighting coming through sheers on my workroom window, then layered it in photoshop with another image of a marble tile. A lightroom vignette finished it off.
Actor Lucy Lawless and five Greenpeace activists are arrested by police on top of the derrick of an Arctic-bound Shell drillship in Port Taranaki, New Zealand. The arrest ends their occupation of the Nobel Discoverer which lasted 76 hours. The Shell contracted drillship is heading to the Arctic to start drilling for oil. Shell is positioning itself to be at the head of an oil-rush into the Arctic, in expectation that climate change will continue to drive up the average Arctic summer ice melt, and so make drilling in the region easier. Oil spills are virtually impossible to clean up in Arctic conditions. (C) GREENPEACE

Sea shells on display at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. It is hard to convey the size of these, but these sea shells were HUGE!

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.
