Interesting Shell site...


Recommended Posts

I met a great guy this weekend at a fighter kite championship event he is a shell collector and spends months every year diving for shells.

I had no idea that people collect shells and they are graded like gemstones.

 His largest shell weighs sixty kilos! I said is it must be very old to be that big but apparently they grow as quick as micro shells.

He also makes incredibly neat and beautiful tissue kites, his day job is framing pictures at the Pomidou centre in Paris.

How I would like to get my hands on some Picassos...
