These are making me smile and I hope they make you smile as well. As long as it's an animal etc, it's always adorable....

I have been seeing pincushion all over the place lately especially the turtle and not wanting to purchase anymore patterns, I decided to dive in and make my own.

I made this fat little bugger first after three or four trials and errors. His house seems to be a bit small for him hahahah....anyway,

I wanted a realistic face and I think I captured the turtle face pretty good. I made his shell and body as one piece and then made the cover for the shell seperate. I took a T-pin with a round loop and forced a huge plastic pearl on it and then wired some seed beads in the loop of the pin.

I rouged his cheeks with crayon and outlined his mouth with a black Identi-pen, two black/green seed beads for his eyes. In this model I made a seam on the bottom and it raise his head and I like that.

Has anyone made any of the turtle pins on the web.
