my first carving (though it definitely wasn't my first sculpture). Not perfect but it was tons of fun! This little guy eventually became a gift for my Grandpapa.

The joke isn't that it's a wood turtle! Somehow it's less creative than that. I based the markings off my pet Couscous, so you could say it's a... painted turtle :y

Media: basswood, wood stain, acrylic paint, shellac (which doubles as another turtle pun :)
