Tortoise paraphernalia
We've only been keeping tortoises for two years but have already amassed quite a few things chelonian around the house. I don't think I have a problem yet but it might be heading that way.
What tortoise stuff do you have at home? A brass tortoise padlock from India, I guess it must be a star tortoise - it's on a beautiful carved dowry chest also from India. https://i.imgur.com/n27vUpel.jpg An ashtray (I don't smoke though) https://i.imgur.com/rNiT7fAl.jpg A table lamp https://i.imgur.com/Xoe4Uubl.jpg A lawn ornament - we had this for many years before getting a real tortoise, maybe where we got the idea from https://i.imgur.com/pnxFqhZl.jpg Candle https://i.imgur.com/6xOCGUBl.jpg Christmas tree ornament (when it's not Christmas it lives with the ducks) https://i.imgur.com/QYJl1KCl.jpg My favourite tortoise shirt (yes I have more than one!) https://i.imgur.com/MV0PzURl.jpg One of my other tortoise shirts https://i.imgur.com/5F1vkBUl.jpg One of my attempts at making a monoprint - I'm terrible but my partner is doing a fine art degree https://i.imgur.com/OsmJrDJl.jpg |
Goodness you're just a novice I have forty years' worth scattered at the moment between new house and shipping container at the local farm. Love the shirts though as haven't anything like that!

I got tired of dusting all the 'junk' I was keeping, so I gave it all to my sister in Oregon.

I am liking all the pickies ! I made these a while ago - I know !! (Mary is thinking thank goodness you don't know when my birthday is !!!) https://i.imgur.com/mqWXPd5l.jpg |
The sculptures are great fun. My dad was a potter so always had fun with clay growing up. Is there a tortoise museum anywhere anyone’s been to?

ha ! Iyes !
did style these on my own tortoises also so could do them of the browns. Not sure about museums ! My ideal would be a massive tortoise sanctuary like France had.....I need to buy an island not quite Jurassic park style with man eating tortoises but with the land to watch evolution, CB |
