Shed

This is a naturally occurring shedded snakeskin that I've had around for
the last 10-15 years (I'm amazed that it hadn't turned to dust. I'd always
intended to incorporate it into a handmade paper bowl or something, but
never did; enhanced with an organic edges filter so that it wouldn't look
like bubblewrap anymore ;-)

Looks very skeletal, even though it's actually the opposite of skeletal! -Ed Hahn

this is a great pattern and fits the topic very well... but it gives me the heebie jeebies knowing it's a snake skin. LOL

Thanks for your comments Cindy. I keep liking the idea of making it work on its own, but haven't succeeded to this point. I should have some more shooting time between now and close of entries, so I'll give it a go. Again, thanks. --Nancy

I see what you mean about the bubble wrap . . .still I think I prefer it - with a little work of course. But strictly a matter of personal taste - no real reason for that. Cindy

Here's a link to a cropped portion of the original-- focus is on the ridges, which I liked, but the other part really is like bubble wrap. It's so neat to see and to hold, but it just didn't translate photographically, as I'd wanted. http://www.pbase.com/image/43679180

Very cool! Wouldn't mind seeing it without the 'organic edges' just so I can understand what you are talking about with bubble wrap. Cindy

This is very nice! I have seen snakes shedding skins and its not a pretty site. But this is... -Cat
