Salamander or Newt - Free Pattern

Image
This little pattern can be altered to create any kind of salamander, newt, or other lizard you'd like! I chose to make a rough skinned newt, as they're my favourite native one! The difference between a salamander and a newt is that salamanders live on land except for breeding, and newts live in the water most of their lives!
