One of the first scrapbeasts; and of course I started with a dinosaur. This little fellow is also a bit larger than most of the scrapbeasts, and already fully sanded. He's also made of a somewhat thinner copper; still plenty strong for hanging out in your indoor plants, still very much not a toy, despite being a dinosaur.
This is an art object, not a toy. There is only one of each scrapbeast, and will only ever be one of each scrapbeast. The nature of scrapbeasts is that they are drawn directly on some oddly shaped bit of scrap that would otherwise be hard to use, with the goal of using as much of that existing scrap as possible, and then textured, formed, and forged as complete one-offs. They are easy to dust and not subject to moths, so can be put out on a shelf or wherever you want them, and do not require a glass case. If your cat knocks one off a shelf, you'll be able to bend them back pretty easily, but if someone decides their wings "flap" or their legs "walk" the metal will fatigue and eventually break just like if you mess with a paperclip too much. If you decide that this piece is seasonal decor, you should be able to pack it up with no more worry than any other piece of holiday decor, just make sure to provide enough padding that she doesn't scratch your second favourite piece.
