Colourful Scallop shell

Scallop Shell

Saturday 4th April 2015

Noticed our large basket of shells we collected on the beaches of Northumberland over the years. There were razor shells, oyster shells and this quite colourful looking scallop shell. None of the shells were perfect examples and this one had one or two barnacles on the outside, but I thought it would make a good subject. I really wanted to put down some sand and place the shell in sand, but we didn't have any. I settled on rough art paper and lit it with a couple of lights. This is just one half of a scallop.
