Here is my latest cephalopod creation. Fresh from the murky depths of my workroom, I present to you, Pearl. This octopus chandelier is made from sculpted arms and head, she has pink albino taxidermy glass eyes, pearl encrusted body covered with vintage and new pearls, scallop shells, pink pearl candles and painted with pearlized paint. She measures about 42″ diameter and is about 14″ tall.

[Thanks, Moxie!]
