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....

This stained glass votive is full of surprises. Beautiful tans and pink glass, bevels, complimented by sea shells, agate, and glass gems, highlighted with copper accents.
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.
