Description
Update: Sold for $41 which were donated to Equip Rangers to Protect Endangered Wildlife in order to help save pangolins and other animals in Cambodia.I've been pondering about various ways to further promote the real pangolin's dire situation and ways to raise some funds, that could be donated for their cause.
One of the ideas I came up with was this little two-dimensional fellow here. He can be used as a fridge manget!
This tiny guy is covered by almost 100 scales of various sizes (ranging from 3-6 mm), each cut out by hand and glued in place.
To create the illussion of depht, I've split the body into three parts (head, body and tail) and covered them with scales, before glueing them together. The tip of the tail isn't fixed and can either be wrapped around the body or be left visible in front of it.
Materials used: Faux suede, felt and textile glue
Time: Two days

Arw. x3 King even. I would settle for queen. ;D
I think I've gotten addicted to making scales. I'm sure there are plenty of pangolin crafts yet to come. O.o;

Thank you, dear. A lot less work-intensive than the scaly plushies. ^.~

I can just imagine a row of them hanging out on a fridge door ^^

Had a couple of buzy weeks, so I havn't come around to making any more (yet). Atleast I got a hold of some magnets, so this little fellow is atleast hanging around on the fridge all along. When I've had time to finish setting up the #PangolinRescueCenter and it's open for members I'll put him up for auction. Hopefully he will raise some funds.

And did you come to any conclusion?

I think I have a few poses and colors in mid! I used to have a toy pangolin and he was yellowish.

That sounds like a good start. I think everything from ochre to brown will do fine for a pangolin!
Maybe it helps to sketch the poses? ^^

Yeah! I may do that. Actually I think Ochre would be perfect.

He's adorable <3 but wait, about 100 scales? 3-6 mm? You're crazy xD and I really admire your patience!
I hope you'll get a decent sum for him

I'm starting to believe that too, but maybe I've just gotten addicted to scales?! %D
I hope so too! x3

Danke dir. Mein Chibi Pangolin hatte 300 und Willy... keine Ahnung wie viele er jetzt genau hatte. Aber ich bin mir sicher, dass es nicht die letzten Schuppen gewesen sind die ihr von mir gesehen habt. Danke! Ich hoffe auf einem vollen Erfolg! xD
