Shitty Rat (2012)

For Halloween 2012 I arranged a small carving party. With that there were colored pancakes, ghost chips, spooky soda flavours (ear grease; toe cheese, elf's blood etc.)
I also did some table decorations like the paper mache pumpkin from a previous post.
But also this rat made from paper mache:

It's a rat with a bottle inside of him. The cap of the bottle holds a fake cork which can be screwed off.

It was made using the basics of the Dungeon Rats from Stolloween.

Basically adding carton frames to a bottle and adding strips of newspaper on it.

The painting was done using the dry paint technique often used; apply a base color and add some dabbed off paint for shadows etc.

I added some raisins inside as if it were rat droppings.

For some strange reason no one wanted raisins on their pancakes that evening.
