Garden Turtle

Hortus testudiness

Reptile

The Garden Turtle was created in the Garden of Eden, at the beginning of time, before the sin committed by Adam and Eve. After the sin, all reincarnated turtles were brought to their natural state to remain on this earth for the rest of time without the ability of reincarnation. This unfortunately makes all Garden Turtles extinct in today's day and time. After God banished Adam and Eve from the garden, He made these turtles extinct so the rest of world could never marvel at their beauty. The Garden Turtle only inhabited in the Garden of Eden, but in another lifetime, I believe these turtles will live in any and all loved and cared for floral gardens around the world. Their diet would consist of waste that in dangerous to the rest of the garden, specifically danger to roses. In this other lifetime, these turtles will have an infinite lifespan after their reincarnation. My design represents the Garden Turtle in its completed reincarnated state as an adult after death. As you examine the final prototype of my Garden Turtle, you will notice that it does not have eyes. This is because of the vanity that it partook during its normal life as a turtle, so when it was reincarnated, it was not given eyes; and in that way, it could not even behold its own beauty. No, I have never had an encounter with this Garden Turtle, but I know of its existence through a vision. Its physical size is small, like the size of a small plate used for serving salads or dessert.

*although the use of religion and deity was mentioned in this description, it is not used as a form of mockery and nothing stated in this text comes from the Bible (this is a made up story)*
