Description
Part two of the challenge! This is Boedaspis ensifer, a fairly spiny trilobite (I can't call it a very spiny trilobite because it doesn't have spines on its spines )

Now I have been trying not to make things that I have made before, and unfortunately I have made a trilobite in the past, but I thought that this one was sufficiently different to not be too bad. It's also quite a bit bigger at six centimeters long.

It can curl since the segments are only joined at the top, but it it a bit awkward to get it to stay like that due to all the spines. Talking of the spines, they made using string a nightmare, it got tangled so often. Also the last needle I had left after the griffin broke while making this, so I was stuck for a while with only a couple of segments to go.

Still, despite the fact that it was a bit tempermental when I was making it, I think it came out rather well, especially the head. Although I guess the rest of it is mostly spikes XD

Materials:
Size 11 seed beads, size 15 seed beads, size 8? seed beads, beading wire of various thicknesses, beading thread.

Others in this series:
Cambrian: Yohoia tenuis
Ordovician: Boeddaspis ensifer
Silurian: Climatius
Devonian: Dunleosteus
Carboniferous:
Permian:
Triassic:
Jurassic:
Cretaceous:
Paleogene:
Neogene:
