    By the distinct color bleeding I just know I'm going to kick myself when I hear what's it made from. I really like the colors Cheryl!

    I think it may be made from either Oyster or Abalone shell. The dangling bits look like geodes.

    I love the mobile and would have picked one up for myself if I'd seen it. :-D

    I agree with Sjoerd. Anodized copper and she is a sweet happy little angle... :D

    I would have had broken my rule for just this one week and got a pair. Oh wait, now really, a pair is one........

    At first glance I thought the fish was made of glass and the chimes were oyster shells. But a little breeze and a closer look gave away its secret.
    Its stainless steel. Its "coloring" came from a torch, the true artistry of it.

    I would never have guessed that it was stainless steel. Just goes to show what can be done if you have the know how and skill.
