As we all have gone through a period of adversity this lobster represents the journey and period of growth.

I love the assimilation by Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski – “Grow Through Adversity”

Here is the short transcript:

“The lobster’s a soft animal that lives inside of a rigid shell. That rigid shell does not expand.
Well, how can the lobster grow? Well, as the lobster grows, that shell becomes very confining, and the lobster feels itself under pressure and uncomfortable. It goes under a rock formation to protect itself from predatory fish, casts off the shell, and produces a new one. Well, eventually, that shell becomes very uncomfortable as it grows. Back under the rocks. The lobster repeats this numerous times.
The stimulus for the lobster to be able to grow is that it feels uncomfortable. Now, if lobsters had doctors, they would never grow because as soon as the lobster feels uncomfortable, goes to the doctor, gets a Valium, gets a Percocet, feels fine, never casts off his shell.
I think that we have to realize that times of stress are also times that are signals for growth, and if we use adversity properly, we can grow through adversity.”

— How it is made —
An acrylic matte coating is painted to cover the entire surface to protect against harmful UV light rays.

This keeps the glass in its natural matte looking state while creating a non-yellowing permanent coating that is moisture resistant.

🦞IMPORTANT NOTE🦞

Our lobsters are *made to order* which means we make them for each order that comes in.

Sea glass is unique in its own form so each art piece will vary according to supplies and artists creative arrangement.
