#50 Rice Turtle

I was looking on the 'a snail a day!' blog and saw this fantastic idea for drawing a snail on a grain of rice.  Well I do a turtle a day, so obviously I wouldn't be completely copying because I drew a turtle!  I have managed to get names onto grains of rice before so I thought a turtle would be very easy.  How wrong I was.  It took me four tries (you can see my failed attempts in the background) and Hubby was coaching me on the last attempt.
Can you see the little turtle in there?  I decided to add some green beads and make it into a necklace.
Again with help from Hubby.  I was having glue issues.  So was he!  Haha, he almost glued himself to the lid.  Luckily, everything worked out in the end and now I have a new necklace.

  3. If he didn't free himself, that would make a really awkward necklace!

    Heidi, I am fortunate to have a friend who has a business making jewelry and she sneaks me into an amazing wholesale warehouse from time to time. Sorry I can't be a better help.

  4. Hi Ange,

    This is really cute. Love the tiny turtle!
    I also live in Toronto and was wondering where you get your Deco Art Triple Thick Gloss Glaze?
    I cannot find it anywhere (downtown). Any suggestions? I am in Toronto too :)
    Thanks!

  5. What kind of paint did you use for this? I always wanted to try this. It came out good.

  6. I have a special pen that came with a kit I bought ages and ages ago, but I have played with it and have learned that an ultra-fine Sharpie works well too. It is a bit thicker than my pen. Experiment with it. :)
