| "Slow
Dance" - Version One |
| Treasure
Jest Series |
| by Peter
Calvesbert |
| 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. |
