Turtle Class Was a Success

A total of 9 people attended the class last Thursday and we had a lot of fun.

We painted a total of 20 premade baby turtles and molded at least 20 more for baking at home.

Most of the attendees are local artists themselves.  I am looking forward to seeing their finished turtles and learning what they do with the little beauties.

One thing is for certain I am so glad I put out the effort to make so many premade turtles to choose from.  It was my first class so I was guessing what sort of turtle would be most popular so I molded, baked and sanded 24 baby Leatherback and 24 generic ’round’ shaped turtles for painting.  I glued magnets on over haff of them for refrigerator magnet displays. 

To my surprise, and something I find interesting, the artists only chose the little round turtles to paint, but most artists molded at least one Leatherback to take home for later.  

My guess is the Leatherback turtles aren’t as colorful…but I think they are cute.  🙂
