Tuck your holiday card or photo into the spiral wire holder atop this bright holiday gift, made of layers of dyed capiz shell. Fishermen collect capiz clams for food and sell the shells for craft.

Capiz is the thin, off-white shell of clams. Artisans wash the shells with soap and water. Next they soak the shells in a weak acid solution. After the shells have dried, they are cut into shapes, edged with brass wire that is soldered together. Before glass windows became available in the Philippines, capiz was used for windows in the houses.
