Periwinkle Repurpose

A tiny sketchbook for a tiny shell.  When I traveled to Maine, I brought along only my little 6"x6" sketchpad.  It hasn't seemed to fit anything very well, but this tiny shell worked just fine!  As written on the page, this is an empty periwinkle shell with something new living in it -- either an anemone or a tiny urchin, I suppose.  It was very cool.  I've been trying to work on getting even continuous tone with graphite, but I always get impatient at some point and you can see the scratches.  I must practice patience....

I don't have a scanner, so I tried taking a photo and uploading that, but it's pretty fuzzy.  Perhaps a photo taken in daylight.
