Artist's Comments
Commercially available turtle form (but have no idea where I got it), it's stuffed with sand. Beaded with size 11 seed beads using embroidery, brick stitch, and peyote. Design was on the fly, pattern original. The top of the shell flips up although it's attached at the top center. Top was completed first; underneath done later. Completed Feb 2006.
It's very heavy although it's small. Fits in the palm of my hand. A fun piece to do because I had to think on the fly while trying to figure out the pattern without a pattern. |

 reports, 1d 21h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.66 Inspirational Photography Desember*Sortvind

I would honestly love a figure like that in my house. It's so lovely! The bottom part of it is breathtaking, too. Seriously.. you did the face very well and I really like the peach swirls underneath it. What gave you the idea of the face anyway? That looks so interesting.. was it just something you felt like doing or was there some deeper meaning to having a face underneath the turtle?
But yeah.. amazing work. The patterns are interesting, the colors are vibrant.. it looks so.. traditional for some reason. I don't know why I use that word, but that's what came to my head XD Congratulations on the Daily Deviation, too!
