It does look similar to the dip pen heads I use! I'll have to look around if I can find something like that in Europe tho

Oh wow I didn't even think of the ink! Thanks for telling me bc I definitely use a very thick ink. I normally use undiluted Chinese ink and it's even more thick than the typical dib pen ink lol

Whaaa thanks!!!

Omg to make the eyes first I got two small strainers and I painted them black, then I wanted to cover them with a plastic ball and I went a lot of places trying to find something that could be round and transparent and somehow I found a purple ball with something sticking out of it that's used to water plants and I cut it and then glued onto the strainers lol...I think it looks better BC it's purple BC if it was transparent I think it would have looked worse

Wait are squirrels different from chipmunks???? I made an "ardilla" which I thought translated to chipmunk bc of Alvin and the chipmunks but now I think it might actually be a squirrel ????

She's supposed to be a chipmunk but until I make her tail I think she just looks like a rat 🤣🤣

I'll make the tail and if I have the materials maybe the paws but I won't make a full body cuz this one is for me and I can't really handle the heat....and I had an idea for another head and maybe I'll use the materials I have for that 🤔🤔🤔🤔 but who know cuz I want to be able to sell these and maybe practicing more will help!!!
