The ultimate accessory: bats!

I have new bat-head brooches!

These are 2 of my Short-Tailed Fruit Bats.  Just like Lil Drac who lives at Bat World Sanctuary, these little brooches have a somewhat diamond shaped nose flap, expressive ears and bright black eyes.  Unlike Lil Drac, they're made of mohair, ultrasuede and safety-lock eyes, and you can have one!



And here's my Honduran White Bat!  As you can see when comparing him with the bat in the photo, he's a pretty accurate replica of these beautiful white bats.

And these two don't represent any particular species, they're just darn cute.  Each pin is unique and has an ultrasuede nose that I've twisted, folded, tinted and stitched to create the shapes you see.

Inspiration's muses

In the past, I've made bat-head brooches based on the Western Pipistrelle, the Silver-Haired, and the Spotted Bats. (You can see them here.)
I'm now hoping to create the likeness of two more species: the Honduran White Bat and the Short-Tailed Fruit Bat! Below is the White Bat and on the right is everyone's YouTube darling Lil'Drac, who is a Short-Tailed Fruit Bat, orphaned and raised by the loving (and knowledgeable) hands at Bat World Sanctuary.




I'll keep you posted as they come to life and you can let me know how accurately they turn out!
