With this sweet turtle, my grandson has become a collector.
I have always loved folk art and have been collecting it for years. With the gift of this wonderful folk art turtle, I have launched my grandson into becoming a new collector.. He loved this expressive ,beautifully carved and hand painted turtle which I gave him for his birthday! It's an interest for us to share. :)

I have several animals made by Jon Anderson (tortoise, elephant, ram, tree frog, gecko), and they are all gorgeous. He is an amazing artist. I am thrilled that some of his items are now available on Novica because I can support his art and Novica at the same time.
