Lucky Turtle

A long, long time ago, a fisherman was sitting by the sea, when he saw a large turtle coming out of the water. The fisherman put the number of dots together vertically, horizontally, and diagonally and got number 15 which to him was a magic number. The discovery of the turtle with these magic numbers brought a good life to the village where the fisherman lived. It also brought prosperity and peace to the land. The fisherman became the ruler of the land. He was famous for his fairness and wisdom; however he understood where his wisdom came from. Since then, the turtle has become a magic symbol of health, longevity, happiness, and prosperity! This story was retold by Leila Akhmet Othman, a talented local artist, working with different media: painting, tapestry, batik, jewelry, ceramics, and wearable art, such as scarves, t-shirts, jackets, and even shoes with her designs. These "wearables" reflect both urban style, as well as VIP exclusive tastes. Her creations attract attention of in all the countries she had her expositions.
