“Lovely, but fragile”

This sculpture is lovely and looks exactly as shown. However, the seahorses nose broke off the first time I picked it up. I was able to glue it back together, but its very fragile.

“Heart Wall Sculpture”

This arrived in record time and is absolutely gorgeous! The picture does it no justice. Thank you Somyot, you are truly gifted and I love the idea of you recycling instead of contributing to pollution.
