When I aquired a flat-backed carved jade turtle, the concept for "TURTLE ISLAND" was born....
| TURTLE ISLAND |

| This piece took a remarkable THREE DAYS to bead! |
I used sizes 14/15, 11/0, 8/0, and 6/0 seed beads. The other beads are mostly fancy jasper and moss agate. Beading was
done on Lacy's "STIFF STUFF" with nymo "D" thread. Neckpiece was strung using "Fireline". I backed the embroidery with a soft
dark green leather. The bone turtle was a find several ears ago at a gem show in Seattle (wish I'd bought more!!) and there
are two little cast turtle beads in the neck strands.
