Pearl Galleons

[AMc]

A friend of mine found these and posted them to my Facebook Wall. I was just tickled pink with these incredible creations, and knew I had to share with PG!

Aren't these amazing?!







Not all of the pearls are genuine, cultured pearls but that's ok - the finished galleons are just really cool IMHO. To see more pictures and get the artist's story visit: http://www.boredpanda.com/wing-wo-wave-white-cloud-city-ann-carrington/

My pleasure, really!

They reminded me a lot of the pearl sculptures Hokichi Mikimoto used to have done to display at the World's Fairs when he was alive. Haven't seen anything similar since.

Shiver me timbers! That's really neat. I recall years ago that the American History museum in DC had a replica of mount Vernon done in cultured akoya pearls. It was a gift from Japan to the US. Here is a link:http://www.mikimoto.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/1933_mtvernon_400x300.jpg
