Rosalie's Crabby Lady

Welcome to a taste of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  Share the hospitality of Rosalie's Crabby Lady.  Not only is she a colorful blue crab, but she is also quite classy and flamboyant.  She has flashy red claws, a shiny iridized shell, and large gorgeous brown eyes created with tigereye beads wired and soldered into the seam.  Spiny details are enhanced by hand-cut copper sheet overlay and assembled with the Tiffany copper foil method.  Like most ladies, she surrounds herself with natural beauty.  Actual scallop shells are custom fitted into the border and highlighted with iridized enamel.  This gem measures 18.5 inches around with brass filagree protecting the outside edges.

"Ya'll come down and visit sometime", drawls this Southern Belle, known as Rosalie's Crabby Lady.
