Notes

Be sure to note errata on website.

Finally got some good pictures. Got a chance to rock my isopod shirt with roland. So much isopod love!

I seamed the shell parts via a lapped seam. Pill bugs have a little overlap all around their shells, and I wanted Roland to have the same. Turns out holding him by his shell ridge is very satisfying, in a lion king sort of way. Makes you want to thrust him at every sunset and assemblege you can find.

Had to order from glasseyesonline.com to find big enough eyes. Could only find up to 15mm on craft sites and etsy. Which is fine, I get an icky feeling ordering craft supplies from etsy anyway. Glasseyesonline had an amazing selection of sizes and colors. Got a shipping notice, hopefully they will arrive soon and I can finish my cuddly bug.

They came! Fast shipping, everything was sorted by size in labeled bags. I went with a pearly grey for Roland. So cute!
