OK, so now I'm going to be one of the fanny-pack-wearing know nothings that you are trying to escape, but - what causes the differences in coloration on the tortoise shells? Is it the natural color of the shell or the elements? The blondish one is knocking my socks off.
Gorgeous! I love the piece of backbone in the bottom picture.

ok
you won't believe this ....i have this painting ( 30 ish x 40 ish ) re - pro done in oil or acrylic . i really can't tell.
it is ornately framed .
it is a hoot.
everyone thinks it's me ?????? LOL
because the hair is drapery, the eyes are framed , the nose-a mantel, the neck -steps, etc etc.
....and i am a designer
love it! amazing dalí!
ps did you receive my email?
Mrs B - you left out the tight perm.
For years the white shells (carapaces) have been erroneously called albino. In fact, they are the by-products of the soup and tortoiseshell industries. They were stripped of their plates and polished. Overtime, the darker areas are the discolouration of fat that was not thoroughly removed.
RF - how fun!
PP - must check my email. Thanks.
Forever grateful.
