Fresno Nightcrawlers

Hi all!
I made this for my partner @gozer for the Ongoing Ornament swap
She had cryptids and mentioned she hadn’t recd any nightcrawlers so after some researching of these creepy/cute fellas I saw something on Pinterest that inspired me to make some little night-crawlers prancing in the woods.
I used sparkly clay to make the creatures but I found some glow in the dark paint and decided that would be fun so I painted them up. I used some trees from a set sold for model train building, some small shells for ‘rocks’ and some moss for foliage. To top it off I used an iridescent bead as the moon.

I’m always reluctant to send fragile objects in the mail so I’m super happy this made it intact.

Thanks for looking!

The nightcrawlers are soooo fab! I love how they look like they are dancing under the moon- like it’s a disco ball or something! :smile:
