This is Dilly… he’s a turtle, painted on a sea stone. It was created by an artist named Debby Lindsley. I saw it in the store-front window of small shop in Wickford, Rhode Island. They have dozens of small shops throughout town that offer an eclectic mix of jewelry, art, and antiques, just to name a few.

The entire stone is painted, with the bottom being a “cream” color and with the artist’s signature– and even the turtle’s tail! The turtle already had his name, and comes with a certificate. I only spotted it in the window for a second, but it was enough time for me to walk in the store and buy it.

I usually only collect things that are blue, but I made an exception here.
