I do agree.....really. While no gap\'s would be stronger, I didn\'t like that it would just look like a rod of shells. To me, the gaps gave them more of a flying-motion sense. Personal taste. I was split between aesthetics and feasibility of production too. I had considered simply selling a set of shells and some very thin, stiff, wire with so you could put it together yourself but nixed that due to people maybe not wanting to hassle with that.......these things are very small. It kind of got down to a 6 of one, half a dozen the other type thing. I also had to consider durability during production, shipping and the end use. For such a small piece (which I think might sell very well) I put a lot of thought into it and tried to consider many factors. Since the above shot, I have shaved away about half of the \'bridge\' between shells and added a large \'backbone\' that will support it during production and shipping and the buyer will simply clip it off.

Sounds good. Hope I didn\'t make it sound like you didn\'t put enough work into these. You obviously did. What I was thinking was a more random distribution of shells forming a line... lets see if I can PS something up really quick.

Something like this but with more shells and a gradual down turn:

I might make both. I was thinking of doing one like you said and you pic really convinced me it\'s not as bad as I was thinking. I still like more of a spread and have also considered doing sort of a combination between the two ideas. Space them further apart but use shells as the bridge, having the thing be sort of two layered. The main stream of shells on one plane and the bridge shells underneath.

the spread looks better in teh photo but irl i reckon gilvan\'s will look better
