The first stamp was carved on a gum-type eraser with an x-acto. As you can see, it got quite a workout!
This was the second version, carved in orange PZ Kut.
The third version is an image that Tay picked and asked me to carve.
(actual size 2" x 1.5")
Here is the current version. I'm not sure that he is as thrilled with it as the last one, to be honest, but Mom likes it.
And here is our turtle-lover on the Biggest Field Trip Ever road trip in the Spring of '08. We were driving through the southern countryside and saw a turtle crossing the road...can you believe that? We had to stop and 'rescue' this little guy to the side of the road. But before letting him be, some pictures had to be taken...

Progressions are great ways to record the journey -- nice job, Mom.
We see the road crossing turtles here frequently in the Spring. According to our Forest Ranger friend, they are probably females going to lay eggs. The scary part is that the babies will have to recross the road to get "home".
Love the stamps!
