Shell-Shock


I've had these shells for a few years; think they might be from a beach on Anglesey.
They all have intriguing holes in them, I wondered if they were caused by a bird's beak? (Memo to self - do some Nature research.)
I am using some in one of my resin mixtures....





Ah, the satisfying crunch-crush of delicate pinky shells! 





Now a tonal palette of tiny shards. Reminds me of the colours you would find in a still life painting by Morandi. Look closely - I especially like the pieces with serrated edges, they look like micro-combs.
