the idea: from the legend of the world being born on the back of a turtle




hubcap with four feet made from plaster strips over shaped newspaper




drilling hubcap to attach with wire the feet, head, and tail




stuffing the belly with newspaper, covering with wire mesh,
holding together with tape to cover with plaster strips




covered the belly with plaster strips and ready to paint




belly gets paint first




upside-down and ready to paint the top



the turtle strut!




outside ring represents the sun,
inside represents outer space with the moon,
and interior circle represents our world




"the world born on the back of a turtle"
