Origami Shells

Hi guys, I know I've been having a lot stress over the phoenix by kamiya, so I've decided to let that go and start working on origami shells, I personally find them facinating. So I've been on google, and yahoo looking up websites with cool looking origami shells that I could make, but I've only found one so far that I've liked, and it's the spiral snail shell, so I'm asking that if anyone that knows of a website with cool looking shells on them, could you give me the url so I could look it up? Thanks!!!!

You can find some pictures of some really good shells (at least in my opinion) here http://www.geocities.co.jp/HeartLand-Oa ... nhyou.html They are about a third of the way down the page.

I know you asked for websites, but you might want to check out Origami Sea Life, by John Montroll and Robert Lang. It has some pretty good shells(along with some other great models).

I know this isn't really a shell, but if you are interested in that "shell look", I think you should enjoy this superb snail.

I think there is also a video for that snail on happy folding.com.

Hope you like this,

The book "Origami for the Connoisseur" has some of the most beautiful shells I've ever seen. Check the models in www.giladorigami.com and you'll see what I'm talking about. You can get the book in Amazon for about $5 - $10

Thank you for telling me about the book, yes the shells in it look very nice as do the other models in it, but I went to Amazon, and the lowest price was about 49 dollars, and I don't really have that kind of money, Thank though!
