#beaded turtles

 This bag started on day when I received  some abalone cabs and was looking at them.I was stunned at the beauty and thought about what would be the perfect rosette for this. My mind went right to a sea turtle. It was very fitting. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love beading turtles. Turtles really mean something to me. I feel I have learned from them in this lifetime. For one they are so…

And I already had to alter the shell pattern because I didn't have enough of the second green colour.

The girl who wants the beaded England flag didn't like any of the prizes that were left last week, so I said I could make her something else beaded.

She was all, "TURTLE!"

I was all, "...ookay."

And of course, being me, I've left it off until THE very last possible minute.

And I can't get the blasted pattern to work as it is, so I'm gonna have to make it slightly larger so the legs won't look super deformed. Two weeks ago, I could've done it without any real thinking. This week? NOPE.

It's still gonna look deformed.
