Perma-Pet Sculptures by Noadi's Art

I've always been fascinated by the cephalopods, especially the Giant Squid, and watching a NOVA documentary on cuttlefish brought them back to mind. They are fascinating, intelligent animals that we just don't know enough about. They are so distant from us evolutionarily that they might as well be aliens sharing the planet with us. Our last common ancestor with the cephalopods was a brainless, eyeless, invertebrate with only the most rudimentary of nervous systems. Cephalopods independently evolved a complex nervous system, eyes, and a brain.

Perma-Pets are unique sculpted polymer clay sea creatures. They are suspended in clear acrylic resin inside a cute little jar with a sculpted polymer clay lid. Each Perma-Pet is a one of a kind (ooak) creation, hand painted with artist acrylics and sealed before being encased in resin.

Perma-Pets come in two sizes, the original 6 inch tall jars and the smaller 3 inch tall bottles.

The name Perma-Pet come from the fact that these are pets you can't kill, for those who have little luck with aquariums.

Available Perma-Pets are Cuddlefish (cuttlefish), Octopuppies (octopus) and Nudibranchs (sea slugs).

Specimen Jar Jewelry

Specimen jar refers to a jar with a biological specimen such as an animal or organ preserved in liquid. In the past jars with preserved fetuses were displayed in carnival sideshows as "pickled punks".
