Sparkling amoeba earrings! These earrings are inspired by Amoeba proteus, which is widely found in freshwater ecosystems like ponds and streams. Amoeba are shape-shifting, unicellular organisms that move around in a crawling-type motion using projections called pseudopodia - it's fascinating to watch! If you look at some pond water under a microscope, you might see some of these amoeba, moving around and engulfing some algae or bacteria. How cool?!
These amoeba earrings are hand made from clear glittery acrylic, with some resin and painted details. They are 4cm long and 3cm wide, and hang on a 1.7cm surgical steel huggie-style hoop. The total length is 5.2cm.
