I picked the turtle for my totem pole because turtles are one of my favorite animals. I like my turtle because of the vibrant colors. I also like this because of the designs and little detail. The turtle does not represent anybody in my family. I just really like the way my turtle turned out.

On this totem pole, my mom is the dove. She is a dove, because she is calm and peaceful. My dad is the moon. The moon represents a guardian and protector. To me he is big and bold. My brother is a bear on the totem pole. A bear represents power and strength. To me my brother is strong and bold. I am the monkey on the bottom. Monkeys stand for communication and success. I like to talk and I like to succeed.

I did this because, I really like these animals. The animals best represent the people I had picked out for my pole. The only problem I had was the one ear I could not find after the first time in the kiln room. Also one more problem I had was that the purple did not come out like I wanted it to. I did turn out happy with my totem pole. I really like the color combinations on it.
