Not guts

This year I entered Chico in another Halloween costume contest. We didn’t win. 😢 But I had great fun putting it together. The goal was a raven sitting on his back, pecking his guts out.

The base was an old coat he already owned.
Mode podged white felt leaving a hole in the center.
Things I used: hot glue (a must), rubber bands, fur from a stuff animal to glue around the edges, twine, ribbon, bones from a left over Halloween decoration, lungs in this picture was a stress relief toy, black, red, and brown craft paint. Go wild.
Who knew you couldn’t buy a raven during Halloween. I had to make him. The eyes are a sting of lights from the Dollar Tree. All the ones that I couldn’t hid inside the raven were painted black. The raven is really a red bird with black feathers from a Halloween feather duster.

The event was held in our nice Town Center Park. https://visitlondonky.com/
