I've been looking for a reason to play with this string of shells I bought a few years ago in a bead shop. I love looking at them just as they are, and I couldn't bring myself to separate them for projects.
There used to be two strings of these. One set has mysteriously disappeared, and there are a few loose shells in the bowl. My kids still swear they know nothing. Gremlins got 'em, no doubt.
Check out more macros and spirals at Lisa's Chaos: Macro Monday. and tnchick's place: Photo Hunt.

Love them, they are fun!
Those are awesome!
Terrific image. Love the colors and the forms. Great composition.
Great Macro, wonderful shapes and colors of the shells.
Awesome one!
They are lovely and look so smooth. I imagine no two are quite the same, each unique like all of us.
Love the composition. Beautiful shot.
very nice. for a moment i wasn't really sure what they were. great macro shot.
My goodness, they are gorgeous, aren't they? I would be torn, too ... but I probably would separate them, because I can't see me wearing them in a string like that, lovely as they are. Too heavy for me.
LOVE it .. and I understand completely, I know I wouldnt want to separate them either ... gremlins .. indeed
They look almost like roses, the way the spirals wrap around.
I love the macro too. I think the world is so much more interesting when you take some time to look at it from way up close.
What a beautiful shot!
So, I have been through all the macro shots for this week, and I think that I like yours the best - great photo!
Thanks, everyone, for the kind comments!
Martha, you're right - each is unique. It's quite amazing, really, how much they differ.
Jay, I don't wear them. I pile the string into an alabaster bowl with egg-shaped stones and interesting seed pods.
Daryl, those gremlins have made quite a few things vanish around here.
Sally, I think so too. Macro is almost another reality, which is probably why I like it so much.
Bug, I'm so flattered! Thanks for stopping by.
Fun and whimsicle! :) I love it! Those gremlins find things here too.
your photo is absolutely gorgeous!
This made for a very interesting photo Vicki...
