Hatchlings

I'm working on more box turtles. I'd like to give them better feet, and maybe some height. Right now, their bellies rest on the tabletop.

My friend Joan is making turtles too! This guy is tiny: much smaller than the palm of your hand. I'm assuming he's a male: male box turtles generally have red irises. She achieved a nice tortoise-shell effect on the lid... I hope she'll share her secret. Joan has been an influence in my work, and I feel honored that I could inspire her just a little bit in return.
