Originally completed September 25, 2012; revised May 26, 2015, after serious consideration of why this little guy had never found a home of his own – unlike every other member of his species to leave the felting bench. Now to see if looking better nourished and proportioned makes a difference.... The first six images show the reborn creature; the second six are the original.

The remodel worked – though it took a while. This little guy has a home of his own, but you can write to the Salamander to discuss creation of a similar free-running rodent for yourself.
