Abalone, antique glass stopper, shell and seaweed

A good friend gifted me this abalone shell and I very much enjoyed restoring it to its very best appearance. The big bowl shape fitted perfectly into a driftwood piece which supported it without overpowering it. It is held firmly with only one screw! An antique glass stopper was a welcome partner allowing light to shine through the wood and bringing the lovely colour to the rest of the sculpture. Finally the shell hanging with the seaweed from the top of the wood creates the curvy tension with a kinetic quality.
