yeah! the pattern I used was from some scans I found floating around online. large images so I'll put it below the cut.

bonus tiger salamander!

there's also a very nice axolotl pattern by Rrkra on deviantart. I haven't tried it yet since it uses a lot of smaller beads (I used 6/0 for the crocodile newt, and the axolotl pattern uses 11/0 and 15/0. you can still technically use larger beads anyways, but patterns that use small beads tend to also use a ton...)

the crocodile newt/tiger salamander should both be very straightforward to make assuming you're using wire like the instructions want you to!

Beaded crocodile newt!! Took about a week to make.

The pattern I used was supposed to be for using wire, but I haven't had good luck with wire actually holding up over time, since it snaps if you bend it too frequently... I wound up using thread instead, which worked out pretty well outside of making the process like 10x longer. I also filled it with plastic pellets so it could keep its shape better (which makes it nice and weighted and fun to hold as a side result!).

#i've got no clue if sharing this is like. a copyright issue or anything? if it is i can take it down.#patterns #also! if you wanted to make any other salamanders. bead patterns like these tend to be very easy to modify/otherwise mess with.#pinterest is a great place for finding patterns too. these are the only salamanders ive found but there's plenty of lizards floating around #and their colors/anatomy could be changed very very easily.#feel free to dm me if you're looking for any other specific patterns! because boy do i love hoarding them.

Your art is so cool! I think it’s amazing that you create little guys in so many different forms and mediums.

YAYYY thank you!!! :D

I love picking up random stuff and seeing if I can make a dragon out of it. nothing is safe. if i can get my hands on it then it will probably wind up as some variety of dragon.

Right now I'm attempting bead weaving/bead embroidery! I'm gonna take a shot at making some of those 3D seed bead animals after I finish up the embroidery here. (...and get my hands on some decent beading string besides just fishing line. It makes everything curl up funny.)

#this is the first ask on this blog! yay :D #askbox #ALSO very sorry this took awhile to respond to. easily distracted.....#art #beading #embroidery #bead embroidery #wip

trying to do stuff with sequins!

i like how this guy turned out overall, minus the edge of the patch being pretty messy.

sea bunny pincushion!!!

he's got a thin piece of plastic in the bottom of him, so that needles won't go all the way through. and if I do somehow get a smaller needle pushed all the way in, I can squeeze it and the plastic piece will push the needle back out through the top!

#...I also made the pattern for it and then proceeded to goof up sewing it in a really weird way???#which made the ridge around his sides extra scrinkly. which works out though because sea slugs are just like that sometimes!#his ears and tail are uneven but also very nice to fidget with. bouncy...#sea slug #bug #nudibranch #art #creature art #bug art #sewing #plushies #plushblr #marine invertebrates #sea bunny #sorry for adding 1billion tags to all my art posts. it is my very poor attempt at organizing them.#or at least making them findable.
