The pangolin is a cute animal with keratin scales covering his skin, he
is threatened by poaching for his meat and scales.
I choose to made a sculpture of a pangolin because of its fragility.
I used the combinaison of two
skills : ceramics and woven beadwork.
The first step of the work consits in
shaping the pangolin out of clay, and baking it at 1280 degrees
Celcius ( 2 336 degrees Fahrenheit).
The seedbeads (size 11/0) are then woven with the help of a needle and
cotton thread around the terracotta sculpture .
And finally I added the scales made with miniduos beads.
