Green Turtle in Silver Flowers on Indigo Pinup dress 5 inches wideThe green turtle may seem morose, but thats just the way nature designed them. They can be found happily hanging out (though you wouldnt know it to look at them) in shallow lagoons, nibbling on sea grasses. The only thing that makes them sad is that they are endangered. For that reason (and also, you probably dont have a lagoon), you cant take them home as pets. How about consoling yourself with one of my stitched paper green turtles, instead? Based
