Turtle people live their lives in a state of constant flux. Some say they never really feel that they have a home except for what they carry on their backs. To them, it is the journey itself that is important. To people with turtle medicine, it is also important to have patience and act only when you feel the time if right for you to do so.

This one-page pattern features a graph-style beading chart, a color key with suggested Delica bead colors and bead counts, a diagram to help you add the fringe to the piece, and a full color photo of the finished piece.

The barrette, which coordinates with my Turtle Tracks Earrings, Turtle Tracks Bracelet and Turtle Tracks Tassel Pendant, can be made with or without the fringe.
