One of the pleasures of being a parent, if you're lucky enough to see your child become an adult, is seeing their progression to adult skills and abilities. And the steps along the way.
I was reminded of this yesterday when Daughter Number Three-Point-One found this stuffed... nonanimal she hand-sewed some time early in high school:
What is it, you ask? Well, some hints:
- That orange thread is meant to stand out from the black fabric, including the way it wraps the horns (yes, those are horns, not ears).
- The orange fabric that creates the mouth, eyes, and nose and hangs from the wings (yes, those are wings) is meant to represent flames.
- It's a bit cute and cuddly because she wanted to create a baby version of a famous monster from a certain fantasy trilogy, one which shall not pass.
The answer is below in case that's not obvious enough or you haven't read the books it comes from.

It's a baby balrog from the Lord of the Rings, inspired, more or less, by this creature:
Since then, DN3.1's sewing skills have improved but the creativity continues.
