Adrian Cachini: Pipestone, Sgraffito Turtle

Ca-chi-knee What really caught my eye were those gorgeous turquoise eyes - they just popped against the earthy tones of the pipestone. And get this, there's more! Adrian added some sgrafitto art on the turtle's shell, giving it an extra layer of texture and beauty. It's amazing how such a small piece can bring so much joy and wonder.  Turtle (Edo:wa): Turtle has always been esteemed because it carries its home on its back and goes with the flow of the river, not against it. In some mythologies, the first North Americans envisioned the continent as a turtle because it was surrounded by water. Turtle reminds us to respect Mother Earth.
