I stumbled onto this little item a wee bit too late, but it's still interesting so here goes.

Koopa is a turtle. A very creative turtle - depending on how you look at it. Koopa's owner has a nifty way of making money on eBay. With cleverly selected blends of paint and careful positioning of Koopa the turtle, eBay seller turtlekissdesigns has managed to make a tidy sum selling unique artwork on the auction site. In this case, Koopa's artwork closed with the winning bid at $1025.

turtlekissdesigns also produces delicate paintings using her feminine body parts which you can also see on her profile page (the link above).

There are lots of ways to make money on eBay. Lots of them are offbeat like these. But when I look at turtlekissdesigns' artwork, I realize that it's not just about plonking blobs of paint and rolling all over it to create some zany abstract art. Her strength is in her delightful choice of colors.

I suddenly have this urge to use Ginger (my cat) as a paintbrush and make like Picasso.
