Merry Christmas from Steven Lalioff to his Daughter, Hannah

Dear Friends,
I've been locked away in my studio for 3 weeks... here's the result of 200 hours.
Size: 9.5" tall
Materials: Black Ash Burl, Copper, Brass, Shell (windows), Iron, Pewter, Glass, Marbled Paper, Battery operated flashing LED lights, Leather, Gold Leaf.
Inspiration: 1905+Roycroft+Jules Verne
It was a great deal of fun to make...but I don't think I could do it again!
Mums the word, it's Hannah's Xmas present.
My best,
Steven

    No clue what that means in astronomical terms but I'll take your word for it!

    Thank you so much for this, Daddy. I still love it and miss it, haha. Not as much as I miss you.
