11 x 14 Pen and ink drawing on Bristol Vellum
 
Inspired by the poem below and the shells my kids collected on a summery day at the beach.
 
Did the frail Mollusk know, as it fashioned it's cell,
He was building  a palace within which to dwell?
I long for the story your lips could tell,
Of the forces which made you a beautiful shell.
