I made a bug!

Volcarona is about 10cm tall in profile, and is made from fake fur (body), needle felted wool roving (wings, head, horns, feet, abdomen) wire in the wings, and two star-shaped acrylic beads for eyes.

The wings, ironically, were the one thing I didn't wing it. I made paper templates, very carefully divided up my red wool, and did my best to keep everything symmetrical. I'd been searching fruitlessly for the perfect print fabric from which to make the wings, but tbh needle felting was the best medium for those flaming wings. I can get away with a bit more fuzziness, too.
The wires were such a pain and a half-assed job to make it all fit neatly in the back. The wings are moderately adjustable and sturdy though so there's that.

It doesn't balance on just its butt, but the bottom wings can stabilize it ok-ish. It also rests very nicely in the crook of Scolipede's back as seen here

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
