Fantasy Collection

Fantasy Collection

Mischa has been designing an extensive collection of creatures and fantasy figures for years. When this collection is finished it will be exhibited and sold to raise money for some of Mischa's favorite causes. He likes to develop these designs from the images the pearl shapes suggest. All the shapes are natural. Most of the pearls used are natural (non cultured) pearls. This is just a small sampling from this project.
