Coquilles

Mary's Mosaic Monday @ the little red house is gathering more and more followers and participants each week.
The variety and creativity inspires me to try different techniques and search out unusual subjects for my own mosaics.


Discarded coquilles (shells) from the fish market at Port en Bessin strewn along the beach as the tide came in yesterday afternoon.

    Great mosaic, I love the way you have done the black and white one, I will have to give that a try!!!

    We have had a covering of snow this morning and it took Phil two hours to travel the 8 miles to Guildford!!!Hope it has kept away from you. It is sunny but cold now.

    Keep warm, Jackie.

    Little things can be so beautiful! I love every thing you show us Maggie. From shells to quimper.
    Which mosaic program are you using to get the picture in picture?

    Oh that is an interesting way to combine them. Shells are just so amazing a subject for photography.

    I am so envious of those shells! Every winter I say I want to go shelling to Captiva or Sanibel in Florida, but it never happens. Those are just so lovely. I am enjoying reading your blog. Thanks for visiting Virginia via Porch Days. More snow coming!
