๐ข American red-bellied turtles ๐ข Hello, dear friends! Almost New Year's ๐ are you ready for 2019? But before that, here is another custom work made for the holidays, again part of the Mamas&Babies promo! Two water turtles, their stripes and spots all hand-painted with love. Aren't their colours just wonderful? Those orange-red bellies are so striking ๐ Both are sculpted with cold porcelain clay, sanded and painted and unique - just like their live counterparts. The bigger one is approx 11 cm long, the smaller 6 cm long. What do you think? Sculpting real animals is a challenge, but a welcome one. It hones the realistic-shaping factor ability ๐ . ๐ PSST. The colouring book from the contest isn't forgotten! It's only missing two drawings to be complete and sent and it will be soon, promise. . #turtle #babyturtle #waterturtle #sculpture #handmade #animals #nature #beasties #smallbusiness #americanturtle #artdeco #custom #commission #customsculpture #italy #italiancrafts #artproject #holidays #holidayspresents https://www.instagram.com/p/BsBqXmnggL5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i2tmn37x6e2l
