hi lis.... i especially like the kerchief.....i googled the Paramoria guntheri cause i didnt know what it was and now i know.....those lines on those shells are beautiful....and so are the ones on your work....
Thanks matt. I've been picking shells up from beaches over the world for most of my life and find the natural patterns unbeatable.
I particularly wanted to attempt to recreate some Volutidae shells in felt because they are becoming quite rare.
