I've never seen a live armadillo before, but they interest me. So strange looking and have some fun texture to their body.
It probably doesn't come as a surprise to you then, that I wanted to try making a glass one that had quirky patterns on it's shell. (or whatever you call its exterior)
I decided to use neutral colors too. Just for something different. Needless to say, I tend to think they'd be much more attractive with a red and turquoise gaily decorated exterior, but Mama Nature didn't have the same sense of humor.So meet Tennyson the armadillo. He's just posing in the top photo. Showing you what happened to his Uncle Army when crossing the road at the wrong time. I hear it happens a lot.
See you tomorrow.
Marcy, he is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI see them a lot! Man, they are intensely cute in person. Shufflin' around, diggin' up bugs, makin' little Dillo sounds.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you startle them, they'll jump three feet in the air and claw the face off you! No, really. That's why so many get carsmacked, they jump when they should be ducking.
I think you ought to make a brightly colored Dillo now. Clearly, Nature has cheated them!
