This beautiful ornament hanger was a gift!

It is made by Jody...she made it for my LifeStyle Interiors

shop in Christmas style.

Curiosities!

Zebra Finch

These eggs belongs to the Zebra Finch,they are very little

and the size wil do as an Ostrich egg in miniature size.

I turned these stands of wood with hand.

The first Europeans to see an ostrich egg sureley

stopped in their tracks.The size,the texture,the

weight!Instantly it was a Kunstkammer hit,added

to exotic shells and spiral narwhale teeth,skulls and

feathers.Worth their weight in gold in the 17th C.,

famous sculptors were commisioned to mount them

on baroque stands embellished with rubies and

diamonds.Never having lost the magic of their fluid

beauty,they now fit perfectly in the cabinet of

curiosities of the professor. (project I'm working on)

Nautilus on stand,and real tiny Urchin shells!

This unicorn horn was a gift to me by Debby,

(narwhale theeth).She makes the most amazing mini's

and I love it all! Take a look at her site she is a real artist!

Garden shed!

This is a small garden shed where I must still finish s a lot of. The

roof is yet not finished and in the garden there is a lot of

work to do. Still I wanted to show you this.
