I know that it is an adaptation of Allie's rock trick but how clever to find a way to make it work even for the teeny weeny shells.<br /><br />Even against the one inch shells you don't get an impression of how tiny they are but in the last shot with the cocktail stick and your fingers I can see how very small they are. I'm loving this block - as always :-)coral-seashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876196936807771078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-27221276739937095022012-06-13T07:08:02.662-05:002012-06-13T07:08:02.662-05:00Such pretty shells and oh so tiny!

The beads will add much less bulk to your shells when you sew them down. And their collection is indeed a labor of love. I would need binoculars to see them from a standing posture. <br /><br />Thanks for the endorsement of Snow White and Cousin Bette. I am almost finished reading Cristina Garcia's Monkey Hunting, which I've had on my pile for a very long time. It's a wonderful read that I've swallowed in a few days, and talk about travels! The characters move between, China, Cuba, and the U.S. I may download Cousin Bette next and test-drive my Kindle.Barbara Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068430978341114058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-21930083195393655432012-06-11T10:06:22.020-05:002012-06-11T10:06:22.020-05:00There are so many wonderful, delicate colours in y...There are so many wonderful, delicate colours in your itty bitty shells!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322676800314521539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-76034222999239091522012-06-11T09:26:07.473-05:002012-06-11T09:26:07.473-05:00Hello Susan,
