THE STORY
Wise words from this disgruntled looking little turtle. Our lives seem to be going at an ever faster and faster pace, and I think we all need this reminder once in a while. Also, one of the things I love most about drawing is that you can just make things up. Like this guy’s silly pointy teeth. Do turtles even have teeth? And his weird three-toed feet. Hilarious.

THE PRINT
13 x 13 inches Unframed Print
Screen-printed on Fabric (Printed on Olive Green, Pine Green, and Rose Pink)
Printed with water-based, non-toxic fabric inks
Printed by hand, by the artist, in small editions

THE FABRICS 
All of the fabrics used for the prints are vintage or reclaimed fabrics that are sourced from a magical fabric sale that happens once a year in Calgary organized by the charity Ujamaa Grandmas. Donated fabric fills the basement of a church, with most fabrics going for $1/metre, and all proceeds going to the charity. It's honestly one of my favourite days of the year and has led to me having a large and cherished collection of amazing fabrics. Because they are purchased second hand, I cannot be sure of the fabric contents.
