Ernyoka1 - I did find a shell on GeralDay's site, thank you. Sharen and Kimberly, I'm so pleased by your comments! I like the way the balance worked out on this. I'm thinking of tooling the design onto leather for a bodice stomacher (it's what I do for a living), though I may convert the dolphins into simple zoomorphic knotworks to see how that works first. Thanks again!
