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.

Green Rock Tortoise was this week’s project. Different from my normal miniatures, but applying many of the same skills. Used a glue gun for the first time as well. Hope my wife appreciates it on the 25th!

I made a little Donatello!

Thought it’d be fun to pick up sculpting again for a bit, since I’d always start up projects and then forget to finish them. To be honest, he was sitting without a face or details for awhile, but he’s done now!

I’ll probably paint him eventually, but for now he’ll just hang out on my shelf :)

He’s holding his staff like that for balance as he doesn’t have a base, and the d20 is for scale. He’s only 3.5 inches tall!

Had this idea for a while of making sea turts with little beach shells for a while and finally got around to it. Might try adding some pearl luster?

I'm so beyond thrilled with how this turned out! I've been wanting to make turtle themed play sets for years and I'm super psyched to finally be doing it!

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
