The Shell Maiden / / I come from the rain of sky and sea, caught / on the web of a shoreline daisy, braced low / and spinning in carnival delight with the / kiss of Pacifica’s mist. I come from the company of driftwood and seashells, bleached white as a wedding train waiting to be worn. The waves roll like a wedding march / announcing the union of land and deep blue dreams. / They bring a dowry of tangled vines and sand dollar spines, / and my heart says YES to this sailors treasure. I come from the flutter of dry seaweed, / no longer rich with Oceana’s brine, and yet / adorning the beach with seafoam flare, / like rice and petals clinging to the foot of a runaway bride. Bring me the delicacies of your wedding feast, snapped up in the yellow of a jealous lover’s bill, for I am treading softly here on honeymoon beds of ancient sand, / inscribing moon colored vows / on the framework / of whales.

This is an acrylic painting of a nutmeg seashell at dusk. This treasure of a shell is mainly found in tropical regions and vary in shape and size. Seashells have held a prominent place in our culture, they have been used as money, medicine, ornaments and objects of art. These natural wonders which are strewn along the beaches like jewels from the sea, are created by snails, clams, scallops and other marine mollusks. Seashells are wonders of the sea / Come let us look….take a walk with me / We will find the jewels, they are so grand / decorating the shores laying in the sand….

If you have not had the opportunity to spend any time several leagues under the ocean lately, you may not have realized just how stylish undersea travel has become. Witness Emma in her clever Nautilus shell craft, gently conveyed along the currents of the briny deep by her pet miniature whale, Fathom. With a her parasol to protect her from falling krill and a sonar horn in the event of traffic jam, Emma loves cruising the colorful coral reefs and continental shelves on Sunday afternoon. With plenty of room below for hitchhikers and stowaways and a turbo propeller for passing power, the Nautilus is the seacraft of choice for the hip underwater set, to be sure! Great as a companion piece to Marcella and her Conch Carriage. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

So there you are, deep under the waves, enjoying a couple of mimosas with your Sunday brunch, and along comes a naked lady driving a giant conch shell drawn by a seahorse. Well, it’s enough to put you off your cocktails for a time, isn’t it? Fear not (and drink up!), it’s just Marcella and her fabulous Conch Carriage out for a drive! And though she tends to dress down on Sundays, you’ll never catch Marcella without her nautilus hat. It’s been rumored that if you offer to buy her a drink, she’ll race a school of groupers for your amusement – quite inexpensive as entertainment goes. Perfect as a companion piece to Emma the Nautilus-naut. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

Shells and momentos I have brought back from Maui from my trips in the 90’s. Hawaii will always hold magic for me and as I was composing this shot, my mind traveled back in time to those magical days that we visited those lovely tropical islands. There will always be that longing in my heart to return, but I also know that I love living where I have lived my whole life, embracing the changing of the seasons and all of the surprises that holds in store.

Kambriel di Lorenzia, born in Genoa and raised in Venice, had an abiding passion for cowboys. Perhaps it was all the water surrounding her, but she could watch westerns (spaghetti or otherwise) all day long. Those grizzled cowboys staring, squinty-eyed, over vast and dusty plains – they captured her imagination like nothing else. Once she had finished university, she begged for a trip to the west where she was sure she would find some real life cowboys guiding their horses through solemn throngs of brooding buffalo. Sitting in a decrepit diner in the middle of Oklahoma, choking down what passed for a cup of coffee, she could not remember being more disappointed. Where were the ghost towns? Where were the Indians? Where were the damn cowboys??? Poking around in her purse for some change to pay the bill, she glanced up to see a tall drink of water of a man in the doorway, backlit by the setting sun. She drew in her breath so quickly, she inhaled her horrible coffee and began coughing violently. He was at her table in a flash, proffering his outstretched hand: “Lozenge?” he drawled. Kambriel nearly swooned. Her coughing fit culminated in a decidedly un-dainty sneeze and the man did an admirable job of suppressing a laugh. He tipped his hat towards her and put out his hand again: “Dallas Dorado at your service, ma’am.” She invited him to sit down in her broken English, and soon was telling him of the Old West she had hoped to visit. The very next day he accompanied her to a real life Indian reservation at which she purchased the gen-you-wine handcrafted pipe you see here, and some special “tobacky” that Dallas recommended. She never stopped to think where Indians might have found a giant nautilus shell in land-locked Oklahoma, but never mind. And back in Venice, every time she smoked the pipe, she was visited by the most fantastic creatures, just as the old Indian promised she would be. He called them Spirit Guides. Kambriel called them the old west she had dreamed of and so much more. / This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2008.
