I just finished my first painting class at The Creative Arts Center. I wanted to learn a little about mixed media, so I decided to make this turtle.

| Mixed media turtle |
Fermin's brother and his girlfriend recently had a little girl-- so, we now have a cute little niece. Her name is Abigail, but her parents sometimes call her Turtle. I wanted to make something that looked really child-like. I totally copied a drawing I had seen and changed it up a little by added shells, bright colors, changing up the little girl's hair to look more like Abigail's, and of course, blinged it out with some jewelry parts.

So far, I haven't gotten up the nerve to give it to Abigail and her parents. I don't know if they'll like it, and if they don't, I don't want them to feel weird about it. I had fun making it, and using little Abigail for the inspiration for my first mixed media painting!

Of course they'll like it! It's SO charming, and the fact that YOU did it I'm sure will be very meaningful to them. I love it!
