A young owl is guarding the skeleton key of wisdom. Oliver the Owl is taking his guardianship very seriously and he is a bit uneasy at this solemn task. But he is determined to suceed!

Oliver is sculpted from ivory glass. He has deep black eyes with a tiny beauty mark next to his right one. Oliver has been etched so he has a soft matte finish.

He was sculpted directly on a vintage steel key. My source for keys claim that they are old British hotel keys. I'm sure if they could talk they would have quite a story to tell!

This bead moves freely on the key. I have added an additinal copper twisted wire component that also moves freely. It has a charm of three additional beads. I have sealed the key with a museum quality finishing wax so the lovely patina will remain unchanged.

I have included a 21 inch patinated copper ball chain.

These photos were taken outside in the late afternoon. The colors are true. You will receive one steel vintage key with an artist made by me glass lampwork bead.

This bead is about 18mm by 19mm. It has been properly kiln annealed. The key is about 53mm long (about 2 inches).

All of my hand made artist lampwork glass beads are made in my Colorado studio in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
I am SRA C3.
