Description Spotted bat (Euderma maculatum), one of the rarest mammals in North America as well as a super cool creature in its own right.

I think I made the ears a bit too small.

edit: I've just found out they're actually NOT that rare! So hooray for growing bat populations! Three cheers for the spotted bat!

This is awesome! My husband is about to go out to AZ to track these bats this coming Tuesday. He's doing his PhD research on the Rafinesque's Big-Eared Bat in the south GA swamps. Any way that I can contact you about creating something similar for him?

The ears are a tad on the small side, but I knew what kind of bat it was without having to read the description so it's still pretty good

Of course. Not everything's going to turn out perfect every time. I would love to see one with the giant ears.

Ear size can vary in some long eared bats by whethere they are actively listening or stressed. Nyctophylus geofroyii's ears are like accordians - huge when up, folded away remarkably small in comparison when at rest.

They're made of cloth-covered wire painted with acrylics, and sewn onto prefelt.

Nope, these are made of Lumina clay.

Very nice! I like how the wings turned out. The little feet are adorable as well.

Are the ears made out of Sculpey?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

creturfetur In reply to stirfryarcade [2011-04-27 23:33:51 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I tried out a few new things!

The ears are made out of Lumina, which is an air dry clay that dries flexible. I have since gotten a couple of different varieties of Sculpey that are also flexible when baked so I probably won't be using Lumina anymore... too much pressure to finish quickly before it dries!

stirfryarcade In reply to creturfetur [2011-04-29 17:00:04 +0000 UTC]

Awesome, it looks and works very well. What kinds of Sculpey are flexible after they bake? That will certainly come in handy later.
