Completed April 3, 2017, after a solid day’s work on the tail, which proceeded at about 3/4 inch per hour. In addition to silk long enough to suggest the magic of squirrel fur, this gentleman’s tail has a 2-inch spring built in to the armature in place of the inner portion of the wire, so it waves gently as the wearer strolls along.

Now, if you love him enough, he could be yours right away. Write to the Salamander to discuss details of the adoption.
