A tiny, detailed lighthouse stands in the path of crashing waves inside this solid brass compass. I use rich oil enamel and a tiny brush directly on the brass. The scene is built up over 4 painting sessions to create all the layers of sky, ocean, and itty bitty detail.

The compass measures 1 1/2" x 1 3/4", and is 5/8" deep when closed. It has a snug hinge, and an indentation for opening with your finger. There is an exterior knob that holds the needle inside still when not in use.

All packages are shipped via USPS with tracking and insurance, and come wrapped in a small kraft box with a ribbon.
