Here I am once again late - :( - sad
face, best laid plans that go a stray. My little piece of art goes to Gwen and
it is being posted today.
My
inspiration for May was the little piece of enamel work I did with my
sister in law Terri. The piece always reminded me of the Full Moon shining on
the beach. Going through my 'po' I found these little turtles. I then thought
of a novel I read years ago set in S Carolina and related as part of the story
about the turtles that come ashore at night to lay their eggs. So I Googled
Carolina and turtles. Sure enough there was the story about Logger Head Sea
Turtle that lives its life in the ocean, only to come a shore at night to lay
their eggs. These turtles will lay eggs at 2-3 year intervals and 3-4 clutches
may be laid in one season at 12 week intervals. Clutch size will average
around 115 eggs.

Lynn,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely piece of bead work. And the little piece of enamel work is wonderful. Oh my!!! Hugs, Marilynn
Lynn, I think your piece is beautiful. Worth the wait :) Nancy
ReplyDeleteLynn I just love it. Turtles were my thing for a while in my teens and I still have a few in my collections. I've always wanted to see the turtle hatchlings make their way to the sea.
ReplyDeleteAnd I *love* the door. Another one I can open and walk through when I need a new door in my life. :)
Hugs,

I agree. Maybe I can visit it sometime (lol) it is very beautiful work Lynn!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the turtle story. I got to visit that beach a few years ago and it was a very special place including the
alligators strolling along the causeway at the entry to the beach. You are not allowed to have flashlights or electronic devices on that beach to protect the turtles.
