I'm so very pleased to have completed the art and to be able to offer ID CARDS! So every pair comes ready to gift on an ID card, in a sweet little jewelry box, tucked into a reusable coral print organza bag! Rock your love for all that is slug and mighty with these tiny, glow in the dark resin Sea slugs!
This Atlantic to Mediterranean species of sea slug is a vibrant, beautiful combination of bright blue cerata with yellow tipping, and semi translucent white body with orange markings. Growing up to 3 inches in length, they prey on anemones, stealing the stinging cells from their prey and using them in their own bodies as defense mechanisms!
These amazing little guys make wonderful presents for the scuba divers, ocean lovers and mermaids in your life!
Sterling Silver - Hypoallergenic
Clip Ons - Gentle on the ears, these clip ons are silver finished brass
Titanium - Titanium is the safest for sensitive skin! Its highly hypoallergenic and is overtaking even surgical steel in operating rooms and implants because of its excellently safe qualities.
Due to the nature of my work, everything is hand made and no two nudibranchs will ever be the same! Please allow for some small variations between each unique little nudi pair!
Much of my work - from clay to clothing - centers around marvellous creatures known as Nudibranchs, a type of sea slug that inspires divers worldwide. There are over 3,000 different species of Nudibranchs, and handfuls of new species are being described every year. Nudibranch literally means naked gills, which can be found either on their backs protruding like elegant feathery tentacles or plumes of ruffles that look like flowers and leaves. Brilliantly colored, nudibranchs can be found in all the ocean's around the world in a rainbow of colors and patterns, striped, spotted and elaborately adorned!
Nudibranchs and sea slugs can be identified by a pair of highly sensitive Rhinophores located at their front, which help it identify prey and navigate the aquatic landscape. All nudibranchs are carnivores, but usually have very specific food sources. Some have very fascinating adaptations; for example, a few species have learned how to prey on algae and steal their chloroplasts (the green cells in algae that enable photosynthesis). They then push these chloroplasts out into their flesh, and harness the power of the sun to sustain themselves! Others have learned to protect themselves by eating stinging celled animals called cnidaria, stealing the nematocysts (stingers) and incorporate them into their body to fend off predators.
