SANGUIS ET PULVIS
25 _ THIN SAND SHELL The final thin shell produced is very fragile and only around 3mm thick. Although built up over three layers of spraying and adding sand this has not added enough thickness to make the shell strong. The finish is of a patchy white colour on the external surface where the salt crystals are visible. The internal finish is a very rough textured sand which appears bobbled. The shell is strong enough to support its own weight but the feet are very weak and tend to crack.
