Myrtle the SeaTurtle loves to ride the rip current because it’s the only way she seems to get anywhere in a timely manner. She generally moves at a slow pace and is constantly late which drives her friends crazy. Myrtle likes to keep up with current events and reads the newspaper every day. Myrtle was born on a beach on April 5, 2009. Each tiny sculpture comes in a clear plastic case with a magnifying glass cap. Sculpture is very small, approximately 3/4 inch. Looking Glass sculptures are hand crafted using glass rods. They are heated and melted by a gas-powered torch. The torch worker has a high degree of control over how soft the glass becomes, as a result they're able to create pieces with immaculate detail and complexity.
