i’d never seen a live abalone, only the shell (i hadn’t even seen the flesh part cuz i’ve never eaten one). turns out there’s a little guy in there & he’s a snail & extremely sticky. he’s a Haliotis rufescens (red abalone).

In today’s I’m a lousy businesswoman, I’m not actually sure where the turtle swam off to. It’s not marked as sold in my spreadsheet, but it’s not packed in my craft show trays, nor in my backup trays I desperately need to clear out…
Hopefully I’ll find it someday when looking frantically for something else.

This little beauty is the very last one left of this design/moon cabachon. I plan to work on more moon jewellery but will be retiring this design.

Thank you all for loving this design as much as I loved creating it.
