Dear Hank, Ferreter, Art and Paul:
There is nothing wrong with Hank's saying he has a one-shell collection.
Haven't any of you ever heard of "Poetic license"? Art uses it
frequently. It is a good way of accentuating something by saying or
writing what is obviously incorrect.
And no one commented on Hank's question regarding using shellac on shells..
I have been told it should never be used (and I have not). but just out
curiosity have often wondered why.
