They’re about half the size of classics, but they’re still a nice chunky worm, still large enough to be a conversation piece. Their smaller size does save me a little time, but not a whole lot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-CORD: Petite Crawlers come ready to wear on a suede lace cord. It looks similar to the deerskin lace I use for classics, it’s just not quite as soft. I cut them long enough so that when the knots are finished, the pendant can be slipped over the head and will sit mid-chest or lower, depending on who’s wearing it. I prefer to send them long, and the new owner can shorten or modify it as they please.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-FINISH: Classic and other “premium” crawlers (I don’t really like that word because petites are still premium in their own way) get a liquid polymer clay finish. It is extremely time-consuming, as it must be applied and heat-cured in stages. I cherish this finish for the dimensional final layer it adds to the piece, even though it is a major pain to apply. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePetite Crawlers feature a water-based gloss varnish that I apply and air-dry. It is a crystal-clear and durable coating that will not flake or peel at the pick of a nail. It is non-yellowing and non-toxic. Visually and functionally, it’s almost identical to the liquid clay one, with the varnish being a slightly “thinner” layer than the liquid clay one. This finish is my biggest time-saver, and it’s the main reason I am able to offer Petite Crawlers at a lower price point.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e******************************************************\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe similarities:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-Every single one starts as a lump of clay and is hand-sculpted, hand-textured, ETC.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-I still pack as much detail into them as a Classic Crawler, so they’re still fairly labor-intensive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e- All are photographed and offered as unique individuals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-Will have people wondering why TF you put a worm on a string around your neck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bitis Botanical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51646805901627,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/8351\/1099\/files\/09CE20C9-6CEF-42EE-A110-68CDCA607A5F.jpg?v=1788398602","url":"https:\/\/bitisbotanical.com\/products\/petite-crawler-worm-pendant-5","provider":"Bitis Botanical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
