Venus emerged from the Sea elegantly festooned with a wide variety of White Collectors Shells. Delicate, Classic, Lightweight, Venus de Mer fits nicely into any stylish Interior. This Bust with a "Magnolia White" porcelain-type finish was made from biodegradable gypsum by a small specialist 3D Printing workshop in Dallas, Texas. She weighs 2 lbs before the Shells are added. Sea Shells are home to many small edible animals in the Ocean. They are the main source of dietary protein for many Asian countries. These amazing specimens designed by Mother Nature are too fine to be discarded, I believe, so I have made it my mission to recycle them to full advantage.... as well as a gentle reminder NOT TO discard waste + rubbish in any body of Water. 17" high by 8' wide White Gloves shipping from West Palm Beach GA....where she was lovingly hand-crafted by Marilyn @ ATELIER NESTA Challenging Custom Commissions WELCOME. 50% non-refundable deposit required on ALL Custom orders usually delivered in 2-6 weeks.
