Description

Oh lookie, I made a reptile. Again.
Well, maybe when they invent seed beads that look like fur... But for now, reptileeeessssss :XD:

Eyes are two milky/opalite Swarovski rivoli-like square thingys. I've wanted to try and make eyes from rivoli for quite some time, and these looked nice with hematite and metallic blue beads, so I made a lizard. A rather big-eyed one. Oh well.
Legs are an experiment too - I needed thin fingers, so fingers are entirely on wire.

Technique - brick stitch + a bit of peyote.

Mostly cylinder beads (~35grams of them). Miyuki delica, a bit of Toho treasures. Some size 15, 11 and 8 rocailles too - for fingers and decoration.
The lizard is 27 cm long.

You have captured this guy's personality and "realness" even the feet are life-like and expressive! Your choice of colors (or lack there of) allow the viewer to study the shape and texture of this fantastic sculpture. I would like to see the 'underbelly' as well, as sometimes, those areas are the most "sensitive" - perhaps a secret sweet spot is there?
Your technique is, as always, impeccable and your choice of beadwork techniques are spot on. Of course, there is always room for improvement, and I only ask that you continue to make MORE! Look out Beadworld, a MASTER is in the making! oh and BTW, I WANT ONE <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/> BRAVO!!!
