A couple of seashell dragons for #smaugust.

Sneaky crabs are always trying to steal the smaller one's horde.

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

Nacre by Nature.

My daughter had a few boxes of Girl Scout cookies left to sell, so we made up some "dragon-snails". People could adopt-a-snail (for the price of 3x boxes of cookies), and get 3x FREE boxes of cookies! Such a deal!

One (rear) had garnet cabochon eyes, and the other (front) had tigerseye cabochon eyes.

Also, I found this cool shell by the lake!

Not sure what species of Clam shell I've got here but its got a beautifully coloured interior and a lovely patterning on the outside. All Identifications and attempts welcome.

The fine detail on the ridges of this Cockle shell caught my eye - lovely isn't it?

I'm lucky enough to live close to the ocean, so it's often my inspiration for artwork. Here's my latest...

Bountiful treasure of seashells. I collected and photographed these shells during a visit to Long Boat Key, Florida.
