British seashells wanted.

[Tengu]

Most Shellcraft sends me cold, but I saw a nice collage in an antiques shop. I fancy a go myself, and am busy sorting my shells.

But some I dont seem to have in enough quantity to be of use.

I need;

Tower shells
British cowries
razor clams
other clams
pelicans foot
Native oysters

I have lots to swap, -I am currently on a leather pouch bender.

I also have other shellage; Dog cockles (have a pretty speckled pattern,) too many King scallops to name and much more.

I live on the shore. If you attach images of the shells your after I'll happily gather a bag for you. I know the razor clams....not sure on much else! 😀

Iv just googled them. The cowries do wash up but not in huge amounts. The pelicans foot are rarely here intact. Tower shells. Never. .....I have sand....want sand?

What you need is a Queen Conch. It is of the proper size!

No, Janne. how am I going to glue a queen conch to a board?

(And the common whelks will be small ones too. I have big ones, several inches long)

You glue them on to the conch shell. The ugly outside, not the beautiful pink nacre.
