She was given the gift (gift?) of prophecy with one disadvantage...
I chose this as the oracular shell from among those below (and replaced the book cover with this piece of plain wood)
The final on Monday.

I have a very similar photo of my grandmother. I love the shells and thread. Waiting for Monday!
On prophecy - a quote is fluttering in my mind - something about it being a blessing that we cannot see the future because we could not bear it.
The shells are interesting - am curious to see where this one goes.
She Sells Seashells on The Seashore
The similarity with Max Ernst's Semaine de Bonté is striking.
A Cassandra update/"remake" seems like a natural at this point. That pic is made slightly disturbing by whatever it is leading to the girl's neck.
ah, could it be mary anning? the inspiration behind tracy chevaliar's newest book remarkable creatures????
Well, I'm going to have to go for poor Trojan Cassandra too, which is a bit of a coincidence as I'm Pandora-ing again myself tonight. The shell's throwing me a bit though...
Murex snail? Apollo's lyre?
Titus- Some stuff is just because it looks good, or at least oracular...
As a word-y sort, I should have realised...
This will be cool
to see what
happens next..
hmmmm looking forward to the final result.
yes I have a very similar photo of my grandmother too.
prophecy? no, i'd sooner not thanks.
Prophesy is right but, alas, the oracle is not believed.
Truth tellers seem to have that problem a lot.
Imagine being the Delphic Oracle and having to sit there and tell them that the god was no longer speaking...and how YOU would feel!
Hmm Shells, was she given a ferry ride 15 miles out and then cement shoes? Ya can't see your own death coming, they say...
