Made by Rhonda
I made this as a going away present for a friend. Painted with acrylics, then sprayed with matte finish. Then gave the eyes two coats of clear nail polish. He’s about 3″ tall and was mounted on a skewer to make work faster. His base and his arms, and his treat are cereal box cardboard. His ears are just regular copy paper. I applied clay to the inside and let it dry before I did the outside. I’ve done many variations of Jonni’s Bluebirds over the years and this little guy kind of morphed from the same process.
You get an A+ for cuteness. I love what he is eating and how he cares about it. That is a priceless gift.
Thank you, Rex. He is eating a pumpkin seed, but I couldn’t get the color right. The friend I made him for would roast pumpkins seeds this time of year for her hamster.
Ah, yeah. All right. That is a good story. I like your friend better already! Thanks. I haven’t had a pumpkin seed in twenty years!
What a cutie! He looks like he is soft as a real hamster, not easy to do in paper mache!
Aww, thanks Eileen!
Sooooo cute!!! Good job!
Thank you, Tamara!
Your hamster is absolutely adorable, Rhonda! What a wonderful gift. 🙂
Thank you, Jonni!
