I have a small turtle collection, so when I saw this turtle I knew I had to have it. I only have turtles that are handcrafted, no "store bought" generic turtles. This turtle is so well crafted with detail and wonderful colors. Candra is a very talented artist.
I love, love, love this piece! It's brilliant...lovingly carved, beautifully painted, generously sized, as so, so original! Definitely a conversation piece.
Right now. It sits on my dresser as a jewelry catchall.
Thank you Gunadi! You're a treasure!
Combine a small wooden jewelry box with a beautifully crafted carved "Sea Turtle", add glorious, pure pastel shades painting the turtle shell and you have A Great Little Box! It sits on a shelf where I pass it a dozen or more times each day and it makes me happy every time I see it.
