my new tortoise

[WithLisa]

I wanted to show off my new girl. She was scared at first...

But soon started to explore the garden.

As any tortoise she loves colorful things.

Now she is taking a nap.

No idea what species she is, but since it's quite cold outside I guess I'll let her sleep in my bed tonight.

Aw, Lisa! This looks so soft and cuddly. Is it some sort of battery operated plush animal?

 

[WithLisa]

No battery, it's just a plush animal with a wire armature.

 

[Jodie]

That is very cute. The mouth and eyes are very good. The 3rd picture had me confused for a second.

 

[Prairie Mom]

I really want this for my children!! Do you think I could get it in the US?

Sorry, it's one of a kind and I don't even have the pattern anymore.

 

[Prairie Mom]

Well, I am foolish because I assumed this was purchased! You are an amazing craftswoman!!! I am so impressed!

If you ever happen to come across the pattern or have a desire to make something like this again in the next few years, please contact me! I have four children with great tortoise love and I would eagerly discuss payment and shipping etc. -Heck! I'd come and pick them up!!!

Wow you made that.how awesome you could have your own business us tort lovers would order for sure

 

[TortsNTurtles]

Wow, the tortoise you made is amazing. What a bummer the pattern is gone

 

[WithLisa]

Thank you!

What a bummer the pattern is gone

I don't really make patterns for animals like that. Maybe for the shell, but the body is far more difficult to make and requires a lot of improvisation.
But I already think about making another one, a little more realistic.

That looks so sweet Lisa, I was stunned for a couple of seconds.

What a beautiful thing.

Specially no battery, no feeding, no cleaning, no UVB equipment needed. I like it.

You're right, with all those "nos" imagine how much money is saved.

 

[WithLisa]

no UVB equipment needed.

Not so sure about that... The shell feels quite soft, I hope it's not a case of MBD?

If that is the case......You can add D3 into his/her food. That is the only way of ensure of D3 souses.

I don't think too much sun are good for this species of torts, he will loss color very soon!!
