This is a work in progress. My plan is to create an art piece of the living creature,replete with tentacles,mantle,and eyes in welded silicon bronze.
Believe me when I say it's been a challenge to get this far. That is why I've practiced with simpler and smaller shell forms.(Whelk)
So often we see only the shell,but like so many creatures,this fascinating animal is so much more dramatic in it's LIVING FORM.
Cold formed,welded, 1/8th inch stainless steel.
Width overall-12 inches
