#ceramic turtle

You guys recognize these, right? I pitched the idea of making them to my kids ceramics class, but none of my students had any idea what they were

I'm so psyched to finally be able to share photos of this project that I've been working on for months now! Artist Playsets are something I've been wanting to get into making for a while, so hopefully there will be more coming. Mother Earth Turtle here carries both a baby hatchling and a dapper frog friend, both of which are made with minor joint articulation. The little creatures have a swing to swing on and a tree to hide in, and mother turtle's shell is removable for some bonus storage space.

This is the first piece in what I'm tentatively calling my Turtle World project. She's a worldly traveler, with two small spirit companions who enjoy playing on the world she carries on her back

Turtle Worlds, hopefully two of many
