2024 Turtle

2024 This one of a kind turtle started as a canteen gourd. I have carved, dyed, inlaid and added semiprecious stones (garnet, turquoise, peridot, Quartz) gold filled and copper wire. She measures approximately 14" long and 12" wide and about 6" high. Her shell can be lifted off to reveal a suede lined box in which to place your treasures.
I'm a self taught artist, my gourds and I learn together. My other pieces may be seen at www.rockinmhranch.com.
