| "Slow
Dance" |
| Treasure
Jest Series |
| by Peter
Calvesbert |
| 1st
Mould Available * Made in England |
| Peter was
inspired by some snapping turtles at a marina in Lake
Geneva, Wisconsin, while attending the Clair de Lune
Convention in 2000. He was about to hold a
carving demonstration at the convention. |
| The turtles on
"Slow Dance" are dressed in Roaring Twenties style to
commemorate the convention's 1920s theme & swing dance
competition. |
| The lady
turtle looks elegant in her plume and feather boa, but her
long necklace seems to have come undone, and pearls roll
underfoot. |
| The gentleman
turtle sloshes his drink on his dance partner while
Peter's signature mouse hides out in a hole in his hat. |
