I'd like to introduce you all to my latest creation Bandit the Numbat (otherwise known as the Banded Anteater). This little chap is a marsupial native to Australia that eats termites, termites and more termites, approximately 20,000 of them per day to be exact! Sadly they are an endangered species now due to predation by foxes and feral cats etc. bear_sad

He measures approximately 7" from nose to bottom (his tail is another 6" long) and stands about 4" high. I created him out of all white fabrics and airbrushed on his fur markings. I do hope that you like him.

Regards

Lisa

He is absolutely stunning and amazing and gorgeous and and and just everything lol!!!

I have seen one of these at a Fauna Park not far from our studio and this little fellow really does look like the real thing. In local souvenir shops I have seen mass-produced soft toy numbats and they have spots as if they are meant to be quolls and yet their tag reads "numbat?" I am so impressed with this numbat he looks like the real thing and is sooooo spectacular!! Well done! bear_original
