Description
I cannot catch a break with this little turtle. When I made it some years ago the large glass bead on its back cracked during baking. I still liked it though so when I decided, some weeks ago, that I was going to use some of my older and small figurines to decorate little wooden boxes I decided to use this little turtle as well. And then something went wrong with the clay on the box during baking. I guess I hadn't checked it properly for air bubbles so the clay turned out rather bumpy after I took it out of the oven.

Well, I still like the box and that darn turtle. So I guess it remains for my personal stash. Fortunately all the other boxes I've decorated so far (made a bunch more) do not have these flaws.
