Yes, I can make it. It will cost about 20-25 euros + post cost. It takes me 3-4 days to make it, but now I haven't got any brown pears, so I must go to the city buy materials.

They are beautiful. I imagine they are somewhat delicate? Just thinking that if you post things like that they may break. But beautiful handiwork and very creative!

Well, I got several posted to the UK and they arrived in good condition. Some of the wires were bent, but could easily be moved back (and one of the fish was which is rather delicate anyway!). So I think they would ship well in a box with packing foam chips or bubblewrap.

Hi!
I had an exhibition in the Tropicarium-Oceanarium, in Budapest. The quest really liked my works, but I could sell only 4 pieces. I will be in the Tropicarium with my works again on some weekends.

You can see some pictures here:
