Crazy for Turtles

I've been looking for turtle molds for some time, I recently shared some small Turtle Shells I made with one mold I found and I recently found a bigger mold.
The smaller ones are perfect for earrings, this baby is a pendant!!


Large Turtle Shell Pendant
Good size bail for beads, leather, heavy wire, silk, sari ribbon or any kind of fiber.
1.5 long 1 1/8" wide


Here are the small turtles in case you missed them.



Cowabunga!!
Sorry I had to make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle/Turtle Power reference in this post somewhere,
I do apologize! ;)
At least I didn't say "dude"!
Oh I guess I just did

Back to the serious stuff
I've also made some really rough ammonite pieces with great big holes,
I guess these would be considered donuts.



The patina gods were smiling today.
These were rolled out in somewhat of a round shape and then textured on the ammonite,
 gives them a very uneven and beautiful edge.
They are very roughly shaped at 1.5" in diameter, the one on the left a little smaller.
I may make a couple of these in to toggles!

I did the same with these below but put a jump ring hole instead of a big hole.
Love the rough organic shape.

Turtle Shells



In the kiln at the moment,
I've been looking for turtle shells of some kind to mold from and this is the first one I've tried.
I think they'll be cute!

Here they are all finished
