HEAVY LITTLE OBJECTS

#195 :: "Lucky Fish" earring

This is a refugee from my wife's jewelry box, the surviving member of a sundered pair. Its mate is gone - perhaps escaped back to a sea of black velvet to drift over formations of garnet and hammered brass, hunting for tiny glass shrimp. Hand-snipped tin segments are wired together in a flexible facscimile of swimming scales, the eyes tiny red beads held on by pins.
