Besides being so exotic looking with the physic, Octopus and three hearts and blue blood. Scientists say octopuses are capable  of learning and maintaining short- and long-term memory. They’ve also been observed using tools in an intelligent manner. And they have eight arms to multi-task with!

Original Artwork by Patricia Healey ~ Each gorgeous genuine copper bead and pendant is handmade from sheet metal. First we cut the shapes out, then put form to metal using the technique of “Repousse”, (beating the crap out of the metal from the reverse side giving it form). We use a bronze solder which you can sometimes see as bits of gold peeking through the solder seams. To get the rich colors we use our top secret patination formula and then fire it up with a torch. Finally, the color is sealed in with a metal lacquer.
