Set Your Turtles Free

by average_kimJun 9, 2013
Did this page for the June Pet Challenge. I used the sketch and speech bubbles. My step-daughter teaches preschool, and they had turtle races, where each classroom had their own turtle. She brought them out to our place in the country to set them free.

I also believe that these animals are tortoises, not really turtles, and I'll have my stepdaughter do some research before they have these races again at their school!

@sherelm, I do understand his concerns, my layout was just in the freeing of the turtles--I had nothing to do with the capturing them from the side of the roads or painting, or racing of these turtles. They were freed near a pond, which was my idea, because I was thinking it better than in a busy city or letting them die in a cardboard box. I apologize to any wild turtle lovers out there.

As I wrote on the thread - LOVED your page. Then. . . I told my son all about it and he ripped in at you child's teacher. (He's a big turtle freak, and holds a degree in marine biology so I need to learn to shut my mouth. . .) He said A) why was that one turtle painted? I don't care what kind of paint it is, it's toxic to their shells. B) you do not set them free. They don't know where to go. You are making them food for predators.
And at that I hung up, and said "I gotta go" lol
Sorry, but I thought you'd want to know "HIS" comments. LOL

Cute!! I love what the turtles are saying. Great colors and journaling. I love the way you layered the pp under the photo and used the washi tape.
