Needle-felted Turtle - 'Sierra'
'SIERRA'
This is a one-of-a-kind, handmade turtle.
As each little turtle goes out into the world,
it is meant to be a reminder to its recipient:
Be kind to yourself.
This world is a hard place.
You don’t need to be hard on yourself as well.
Be soft and treat yourself with care.

MADE WITH
- Each turtle is 100% wool.
- Needle-felted by hand, most turtles take a full day or two to make.
- The bigger and firmer the turtle is, the longer it takes to make.
LENGTH = 4.25 inches
Length is measured from the tip of the tail to the top of the head. The last photo shows the turtle next to a standard-sized beverage can for scale.
WHAT'S IT FOR?
The use of your turtle is totally up to you! You are welcome to use your imagination. But here is a list of ideas if you're unsure:
- Gift a turtle to a friend who needs a pick-me-up.
- Turtles make ideal pin cushions.
- Collect several and stack them.
- Turtles can be toys if they are played with gently. (Not recommended for children under 4.)
- Pets may destroy your turtle. Keep out of reach of pets.

I believe in putting your good out into the world. Pass it on!
