This rat sculpture was a commission as a birthday gift for someone's husband who recently lost his heart rat. She was a Russian Blue dumbo rat, and I hope I did a small amount of justice to her memory.

Super Sculpey over a wire and foil armature. Painted with artist grade acrylics and sealed with Citadel Purity Seal.

Excellent sculpture. Are the eyes made of glass?

Thank you. The eyes are clay and painted and then varnished.
