Ever. en-gb The Snail Emporium From Quernus Crafts comes the very latest sensation in gorgeous gastropods - guaranteed never to eat your lettuce. Ever. Nick is a Santa Snail. Once a year at Christmas, he roams the world looking for good boys and girls so he can leave them a little gift. He is particularly fond of girls (hence the mistletoe). But if you've been bad, he'll slime your slippers. Nick is about 6.5cm long and about 3cm tall. He is made entirely from polymer clay, apart from his black onyx eyes and feelers. His glossy red shell has been finished with white furry trim, a sprig of mistletoe and two coats of gloss varnish. His Santa hat has been made from clay, with a furry pom pom at the end. Nick is signed with an artist's mark - a slice of my unique 'QC' cane. He comes in his own smart presentation box with a signed certificate, and will be sent safely by Recorded Delivery post within the UK. Because each one is made entirely by hand, each one may be a little different.
