Sea Turtle Pendant with Green Glass Bead by JFillustrations

I decided to go with the sea turtle pendant - their eggs were "harvested" by poachers until almost extinction (on top of other man-made causes) and now researchers are scrambling to harvest the eggs in the same way but for a different reason - to save them. They keep them in safe areas and release them once they hatch. So, here's to a successful harvest of eggs, which may lead to the bountiful numbers of hatchlings and releases into the ocean for many, many years to come until sea turtle populations are back in strong numbers!

At the moment, I am working with an AR organization on a fundraiser. 50% of sales from this dove pendant http://www.etsy.com/listing/59404268/dove-pendant-with-clear-glass-bead will benefit NARA Campaigns (National Animal Rights Association, Ireland www.naracampaigns.org) and their work to educate the general public on the plight of animals.

Blue Shark Pendant by jfillustration

It's a play on people's fear of sharks. Many people unjustifiably fear sharks when sharks have more reason to fear people considering a 90% decline of shark species due to human activity, such as finning.
My most recent project was making portraits for a newly opened local donkey sanctuary where I live. Copies of the portraits will be used for their donation packs.
