                                                             tape in stripes spanning the surface from the curlicue on
          Your shell is now finished. Allow it to dry out slowly,   one side, over to the one on the other side.

                                                               approximately half of the shell with stripes. From this
                                                               point reduce the length of the stripes, continuing to
                                                               work up the next quarter of the shell.













         Working from your source
        image, or another if it shows the
        surface detail of the shell more
        clearly, tear a series of lengths of
        paper tape into strips, as shown.
         Note – the paper should have
        torn edges rather than cut ones because it gives a softer

        finish to the detail.
