Cushion Cover of a Swimming Green Turtle

Green Turtles are unique among sea turtles because they are herbivores, eating mostly seagrasses and algae. Their diet is what gives their fat a greenish colour (not their shells), which is where their name comes from. Green turtles are found throughout the world, including Australia and they are recorded as occasional visitors to Tasmania.

I painted the turtle with watercolour and used an .003 Micron Archival Ink pen to draw the unfurling sea plants.

This calming, beautiful and sturdy cushion cover, with a "Swimming Green Turtle" image printed on both sides, is Made in Australia and is 100% polyester, meaning they wash up a treat. Put them in a lingerie bag for extra protection and cold machine wash.  They are 40 x 40 cm in size.
