Not 100% sure of the ultimate use - I like the size and colour, and its solidity. Hmm. Open to suggestions

So far - words in green orange and pink. Then a layer of silver. Then a layer of black. Now another layer of silver! Underneath, I can see there is a partial layer of black - which might be ink rather than paint 🤔

I understand! I've switched from soya - I dont have a lactose intolerance but I'm lactase deficient - so I'm a bit careful about how much cow's milk I have

Oh I like this lobster!
