This is one of my favorites. As you recall, my theme was Make Mine a Double. I love the beach. When my kids were little, I'd take them for early morning beach walks and we'd pick up shells along the way. I always told them the shells were little treasures left for us by God to find.
I remember one morning walk I really wanted to find a whelk shell and I prayed " Lord send me a whelk shell." As I was walking, a wave crashed at my feet and guess what it was a whelk shell like the one on the right! Ask and ye shall receive!

Great sketches! Valerie
I really like these! They'd be so lovely framed but I guess you have to send them off with the sketchbook. :)
They are beautiful! :-)

Really pretty and soft...I love the sea.

Ah beaches... don't you just love them! I just showered half a beach out of my hair and off my skin - the only downside, you seem to get sand everywhere!
I want to be on this beach!!! Cold and rainy here...
great job on these two pages - very realistic! Love the detail when you click on it to enlarge.
