Tapir

A close-up of the tapir's legs and eye

We made a large tapir.
It's one of our “animals with glowing eyes” series (large size).
Its eye softly fades in and out.

The tapir on the grass in a park, with children playing in the background
It's quite big. The frame is made of wire.

The eye is an LED wrapped in resin, gently fading in and out under microcontroller control.

Materials: boa fabric, LED, wire frame
