the evolution of rainbow snake

                                                meet rainbow snake:

(also known as snake-y.)

i made him a few months ago.

as you can see, he was a great idea, but poorly crafted. his forked snake-tongue was cheap doller store felt, and zeffie pulled it off in no time. i never finished sewing up his tail (just tied a little knot instead), and his poor skinny neck can barely hold his head up.



because i am a lazy sewer without the patience to follow patterns, these things happen sometimes, and i am okay with that. i knew that rainbow snake would only be the first of many, and that much like humans, each generation of rainbow snake-ys would shed the skin of their forefathers shortcomings, and evolve towards the ultimate snake-y creature.




so, here is a glimpse at rainbow snake number two. now, isn't he a handsome fellow? button eyes aren't everything, but they sure help.







i better show you the two of them together to you can really see the New And Improved-ness of this second snake.

bigger. fatter. longer. stronger. one of the coolest things about snake-y number two is that he is an Actual For Real Genuine Rattlesnake. because there is a little jingle bell inside his bum. i think that snakes dont really have bums, but he does, and there is a bell inside it.

it will be interesting to see what improvements will be made for the next snake-y creature, yet to be born. maybe we will see a little coiling action. who knows?

but however improved these new rainbow snakes may be, they all suffer the same fate at the hands of a certain little zeffiebear.
