Turtles
There are semi-presious stones as the body of each piece, or shells from Maui or other beach communities-some I have personally collected while there for many years... no coral reefs have been destroyed to retrieve them. I have polished them to give them some shine.
Each Turtle(Honu) is made from leather, printed from my original watercolor, and stitched with high quality mostly Delica beads.Each piece has a pearl "egg" which becomes a prayer for more turtles since they are endangered.... that prayer goes out into the world when you wear it. I am also donating 10% of sales of ALL TURTLE products to organizations that help turtles. If you order here and have found me because of an organization that does this, please indicate who and I will donate to that place.
Mahalo and Aloha
