WEIGHT: 6 pounds
In daylight, "By the Light Of the Moon," assembled from thousands of glass beads, seashells, sand, and mother of pearl, depicts hand-carved baby sea turtles dashing toward a breathtaking tropical sunset. As night falls, dual internal and external UV lighting transforms the piece; an internal glow turns the sun into a full moon, while luminous beads create a star-spangled sky. Just as sea turtles are drawn to the light of the moon after hatching, the spectacular sunsets and sparkling night skies called on me to hand in my Free Spirit membership card and settle down. After years of roving across North America and living in scores of different locations, I finally feel at home here on the gulf shores of Florida. This piece is comprised of well over 1,000 glass beads of all different types as well as pebbles, shells, mother of pearl, and wooden beads. The palm leaves are made from plastic fern fronds.
Before placing an order, please contact me to confirm availability. Some pieces may be on exhibit at a gallery and already reserved. I'm happy to answer any questions about the work and arrange shipping or local delivery. Just drop me a note on the Contact page or email me directly at rick.schettino@gmail.com.
