Have you ever beachcombed along the shore and spotted a small piece of shell, dotted with bumps, often purple but sometimes green or white or reddish? Or are you one of the lucky few to find a whole sea urchin shell, a treasure resting upon the sand and rocks? This sea urchin shell is a lot less breakable, but has the same tactile pleasure of a real one. Layers of stitches on hand dyed linen create the texture and five-point symmetry that is seen on real sea urchins, after the ocean has washed away their spikes.

This sea urchin shell is hand and machine stitched, and is one of a kind. It measures roughly 3 1/2" across and is firmly stuffed with locally sourced alpaca fleece. The artist's initials are stitched on the underside.

Sea urchins range from the intertidal region to sometimes thousands of feet deep. When alive, they are covered in sharp spines, which they use to sense the world around them, both as eyes and fingers. They move easily over rocks and surfaces using their tube feet, and feed mainly on algae.

This item is made and stored in a smoke and pet free home.
