Description This is a polymer clay sculpture that I made for my son's birthday. He is an avid Nintendo fan and a collector of turtles.
The turtle was made with Super Sculpey around a wood skeleton. I had to make it in several steps so that I wouldn't smudge the detail. The little t.v. was formed around a little paper Windsor and Newton ink box that I had saved.

LOL! It has been awhile since I made any little figurines. The turtle playing Nintendo was for my son's birthday. Hmmm....I'll have to think about it!
