are we fessing collections now?
I have a small collection of cameo shells. Mostly crudely made tourist trinkets but they amuse me for now. I'll probably give away most and keep one or two I really like.
Faces on shells. That's bizarre.
not faces, touristique pictures
the best one I have is a scrimshaw shell from Tidal River ( probably made in Fiji like all the rest of them 😂)
I do have a helmet shell tho, not carved. Even so they are quite valuable
Oh because when you said cameo that's where my mind went to. My apologies
There are many things that I find bizarre in this world but fascinating at the same time. Like octopus.
cameo is just a carving technique
Oh. Shit, I learn things every day.
