Big Mack The Paper Clay Rat


Big Mack the Rat,
The other night I got the urge to make a couple of rats. In the past when I've made a character from paper clay they end up with unmovable parts and that's no fun.

I always wish I can at least move their arms. I managed it this time, with wire and clothing to hide the wire. Now he has poseable arms with poseable fingers! 

For the hands I wrapped the wires with thread. It helps to brush glue on before you wrap to keep the thread in place.








Big Mack has a younger brother named Lil' Jack.
Here they are in the beginning stage. I use paper clay over a foil base. The clay is built up in stages. I didn't start out with poseable arms at first. After this photo I had to change a few things.
See how Lil' Jack turned out here
