It is just lovely. And no, I would not have mistaken it for a cat!

Well done, even if it's not a cat.

It looks cool, especially the back being out of the bracelet shape.
What made you choose a turtle instead of the usual cat motive?

Thank you, everyone! ;D
This was a custom order, it will be a birthday gift to someone who loves turtles.
To explain it a little more, the design was done from a picture that I transferred in my bead program. That's the easy part. I then changed colors and cleaned up the pattern where I found it was necessary. That's the not so easy part because (for me) it's always exciting to see if the loomed pieces really comes out the way I saw it before my inner eye.
To do the shell like this had two reasons.
1. I like the effect of the pattern extending out of the basic bracelet (you may already have noticed that I like to do extensions, also on the HeatherCats and other pieces).
2. That way I can keep the basic bracelet part to a nice, not too wide size (not everyone likes really wide bracelets), but still fit everything into the overall design.

I like the extensions. It makes the piece that much more interesting.

Yes, I think the cats belong to me and my shop, it's a matter of "Cat's Wire" ;-), but I hesitate making too many different animals because you don't know who will like them although I am tempted of course!

You could try a different one (animal) with for example two pieces of jewelry and see how people react and then try another one, but not come up with lots of different ones straight away.....just an idea. Although I love your cats  |

Wow, with the small photo it was as if you made it in 3D. As if the turtle was on top of it.  |
