R.A.T

Crochet rat - wired rat I have made some time ago. He is super cute and is now sitting in an honorable place above the tv in my living room.

I made his eyes, nose and teeth from modeling clay, which I have painted later on. This topic actually deserve the separate post which I am planning to make someday. I wonder if You think it's better to make the custom parts or to use the ones available in shops. As You can deduce I am for making them Yourself but the fact is they are not perfect and even after some practice I can't achieve the perfect effect especially for the circular and/or bright elements, which meant every clay element in this project :).

The rat's fur is very realistic. I made and then brushed each gray, furry part of the rat. If You would like to know more about brushing amigurumi see my previous post here:

He is fully wired inside so he is posing perfectly for the photos.

I especially love this next photo from the back. He is much more serious here when You don't see the cartoon eyes.
