History
The Flying Turtle will now be flying about landing at Farmers Markets, Festivals and Parties with out an actual permanent location for now! From 2/2/ 2001- 2/2/2016 my shop was in Occidental and was an awesome local vortex of bubble fun, live music and local AT&T and basic silliness! I sold locally made creations! I sold over 130 local artist's creations through my shop! Thanks everyone! My shop is a transformation of Vital Roots that used to sell mostly herbs and hand made baskets...It's always sold locally made things so as the years go by it's always changing with the artists that are involved...I'm starting to get more paintings lately and my metal work and art is always evolving..It was a tiny shop and looked very wild with all the different arts stuffed into such a tiny space... I put things out on the street most the time weather permitting and it looked like a little art festival...I love encouraging creativity & silliness, Seriously! I'm still in business! Call me!
Specialties
Locally made creations of all kinds. I make Bubble Wands that make bubbles inside bubbles and lots of little bubbles too. I make jewelry with wire of all kinds hammering and twisting making birds, whales, spirals, seagulls and much more! I paint Nature/Fantasy Art with acrylic, watercolor and pen & ink illustration usually with quills. I also do Ceramics, hanging vases made from old light bulbs and bottles with crystals and marbles and recycled copper wire. My shop is now mobile, I am available by phone or will be announcing locations of booths at festivals and farmer's market's and am available to teach and hold bubble or craft activities or jewelry making our craft lessons for events, parties or individuals. Stay tuned I will be updating this Yelp soon with more links!
