This one decided to leave the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSky Shell is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted mechanical sculpture that fuses the living with the built, a carbon-based sea turtle reborn as a silicon-based flying machine. Its shell has been re-plated in riveted silver armor, stitched together like the hull of an airship. The head and flippers keep the creature's own leathery texture, but are set with glowing blue eyes and articulated mechanical joints. Mounted across the shell are two miniature jet turbines, their intakes and fan blades fully rendered, as if the turtle had outgrown the sea and bolted on engines to reach the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is assembled by hand, over 100 individual parts in total, combining hand-sculpted resin forms with precision metal components. The whole creature hovers, suspended on two curved steel wires above a black riveted control base topped with a glowing blue disc, as if floating just above the surface of the water it once called home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turtle carries nothing but the will to fly, a quiet metaphor for evolution, and for turning the slowest body on Earth into the fastest thing in the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 5.9 inches (L) x 5.5 inches (W) x 4.7 inches (H)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WMHand.
