Tortoise paraphernalia

[jimothy]

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.


An ashtray (I don't smoke though)


A table lamp


A lawn ornament - we had this for many years before getting a real tortoise, maybe where we got the idea from


Candle


Christmas tree ornament (when it's not Christmas it lives with the ducks)


My favourite tortoise shirt (yes I have more than one!)


One of my other tortoise shirts


One of my attempts at making a monoprint - I'm terrible but my partner is doing a fine art degree
