Kurma Avatar inspired necklace - Vishnu's second incarnation

Right after I first made my First necklace on Vishnu's incarnation - Matsya Avatar, 
I was so curious to make a series on Vishnu's Incarnation.

I have already made two out of his 10 incarnation, Matsya the first, and Krishna the eight.
Now my eye was on second incarnation, "Kurma".
The Story of Kurma Avatar : During the "Samudra Manthan", as the mount Mandara began to sink down to the ocean, Lord Vishnu taking the form KURMA bore the entire mountain on his back.

Kurma means Turtle, and to create that as a necklace was a good challenge. IT has to look like Vishnu's incarnation and it also has to look good as a necklace..
Well, sharing my third necklace in Vishnu's Incarnation series. 

"Kurma Avatar"

Vishnu's face pendent with turtle body.
For turtle, first I made Dome shaped hollow bead with my gold and green cane, then attached face and legs.
It took some three days to figure out and finish this pendent.

For the chain, I made Lotus beads. Lotus is a favorite flower of Lord Vishnu, and it was something came to my mind first. Then I added gold seed beads and green wood beads to complete it.
Here is the full necklace!

IT was really a fun project and a good test for my imaginations as-well. 
I am so happy the way I have created it.

So, what you think about this one??
