GARDEN CREATURES

Take a look at some of the creatures in my garden!
I 'found' him at a local charity shop. He is made out of wire and beads. He is positively radiant when the sun shines through the beads!
Joseph, the tortoise, in his 'Dream coat'!
A closer inspection of Joseph's 'coat'. He was made using a store-purchased ceramic mold, to which I added small mosaics in jewel tones, with some mirror tiles. The head and feet were painted with bronze craft paint.
Some owls - also charity shop finds which have been spray painted.
A beaded spider, made by a local craftsman.
Another picture of the spider.

    Where do I get a turtle mold? I've looked and looked and can't find anything suitable. Your turtle looks great and I'd like to make one.

    I absolutely love Joseph! Turtles are my all time favorite. Did you use cement in the mold or slip? I would love to find a mold just like him. He has the most precious face. I can only imagine how beautiful your garden must be, thanks for sharing!
