Fantastic Curio Box - Original Artisan Creation - "Dream-Mauve" Sardine

A fragment of an enchanted world to collect

"She seemed to glide through the water as one glides into sleep. Her trajectory obeyed no known law. She gently undulated between colors, tracing furrows in dreams."

Each box is a precious capsule, containing a rare creature collected during astral or dream expeditions, in lands forgotten by our perceptions. Inspired by cabinets of curiosities, each work is unique and meant to be collected. 

Collection Sheet No. 141 – "Dream-Mauve" Sardine

Common Name
Dream-Mauve Sardine

Scientific Name
Somnipelagia irisata

Collection Location
Bay of Inner Sails in the hazy currents of the Lilac Whisper Strait

Collection Date
Passage of Daydreams during the 2nd night of the Great Oneiric Journey 

Natural Habitat
It only reveals itself in waters with shifting reflections, where thoughts wander. It is often found near sources of collective dreams, in full dream flight. It swims like a fleeting idea that one cannot grasp but never forgets.

Peculiarities
Its iridescent mauve coat captures the hues of the background on which it evolves. On a bed of green and pink glitter, it becomes almost phosphorescent, as if it absorbs the colors of the world to create new ones. It sometimes carries messages left suspended by distant dreamers.

It is said that it only visits hearts capable of loving the strange and the blurry.

Encounter Anecdote
"She swam slowly, as if she was waiting for me. Around her, everything was blurry. But looking at her, I knew I wasn't lost. I was just... somewhere else."
