I did this picture before I did my single shell. I got frustrated and quit before finishing, but my husband urged me to keep at it. I did, and then I saw that an Advanced artist had done nearly the same shells! And much better, I might add. Agh! Oh, well, I figured I may as well upload it since I did finish
. I feel good that I did complete it.

Using a Reverse Mount Macro Adapter I turned my 17-85 lens around to capture a macro of the ribs of this shell.
Several Decades ago, the Oil Co Shell, put out a number of series of cards. They also sold albums to put these cards in. Everytime you went to Shell for petrol, or anything else, they gave you some cards. The idea was to collect the whole lot, and generally they were most obliging in allowing you to go through the box, to get the cards you were missing.
I only have the Transport Card series left, the others have been long thrown out.
I have scanned each page. This is part 1.
