A wee oyster shell I made last month - hand engraved, hand etched and
hand stamped with a fresh water pearl. I made this for someone but it
wasn't quite what they had in mind so I'm popping this one up for sale
in my shop, I still find it really difficult to price these things but
for the labour and time it's a very good price is what I will say.
The Oyster
Author: Unknown
There once was an oyster
Whose story I tell,
Who found that some sand
Had got into his shell.
It was only a grain,
But it gave him great pain.
For oysters have feelings
Although they?re so plain.
Now, did he berate
The harsh working of fate
That had brought him
To such a deplorable state?
Did he curse at the government,
Cry for election,
And claim that the sea should
Have given him protection?
No ? he sad to himself
As he lay in his shell,
Since I cannot remove it,
I shall try to improve it.
Now the years have rolled around,
As the years always do,
And he came to his ultimate
Destiny ? stew.
And the small grain of sand
That had bothered him so
Was a beautiful pearl
All richly aglow.
Now the tale has a moral;
For isn?t it grand
What an oyster can do
With a morsel of sand?
What couldn?t we do
If we?d only begin
With some of the things
That get under our skin.
Guy Debord would probably be turning in his grave at this. Ah well, the display box is prettynice eh?
Ah it looked really nice at dusk.
