My third needle-felt project, a numbat! He is pretty darn tiny - quarter for scale! I was having trouble with the very tips of his paws, so I dipped them in candle wax in hopes it would smooth them down. I don't think it made much of a difference, but on the bright side, he smells like vanilla caramel!

A one-of-a-kind sculpture depicting a semi-realistic Numbat.

The Numbat is a small, insectivorous marsupial native to Australia. They are currently endangered and inhabit only a small sliver of their previous range. 

This one took a lot of time. After sculpting the numbat from clay, I hand-painted each individual hair with acrylics. It took me multiple workdays to paint this guy.

The Numbat is available in my shop. Go here.

Here is an animal you might not know about. This is a numbat, and it’s from western Australia. If you don’t like termites you’d like this dude because it almost exclusively eats termites. Unfortunately this cute marsupial is endangered.

Encore post from exactly one year ago... Numbat aka Walpurti (Australian Marsupial) The numbat feeds almost exclusively on termites. It is an endangered species that lives in small pockets in western and south Australia. I have never seen this animal on any nature show and discovered it thanks to YouTube videos. This was created by me from a screenshot of a YouTube video that was processed using an app template by Creo to produce the painting-like effect. #Numbat #Walpurti #Marsupial #AustralianMarsupial #Australia #Cute #Kawaii #TermiteEater #PhotoManipulation https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-_CNwhEOa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1847fzbwjqkku
