December 30 - Patrick's Turtle

On the far-away island of Sala-ma-Sond,
Yertle the Turtle was king of the pond.
A nice little pond. It was clean. It was neat.
The water was warm, there was plenty to eat.
The turtles had everything turtles might need.
And they were all happy. Quite happy indeed.

~ Dr. Seuss Yertle the Turtle

These turtles are inspired by one of the pictures that Patrick Van de Ven has shared with the balloon community way back in 2008 and my best attempt at copying it.

The turtle, more than eight years old at this point - is still one of my favorites and in my opinion every bit as good as some of his current designs.

... Sandy Plankton said that it might live to be a hundred.
