A real preserved seahorse becomes the heart of this sculptural seahorse & butterfly wing sun catcher, transformed through copper electroforming into a lasting piece of ocean art. Real butterfly wings form the upper fins, permanently encased in copper, while handmade glass flowers grow along the body like tide-pool blooms.
 
Below, a genuine starfish suspends cascading crystal prisms that scatter sunlight into moving reflections across the room.
 
Every texture you see began as something natural — seahorse, wings, starfish, and glass blooms — slowly layered in copper to preserve delicate detail while turning it into heirloom metal. The patina is applied by hand to deepen shadows and bring out the organic structure of the form.
 
Designed for a bright window, but equally at home as statement wall art in coastal, nature-inspired, or eclectic interiors.
