Eyeballs and mad scientist rubber ducks

I saw this entry in the crafts contest on a table in front of the quilt display, in the Commercial/Educational building (see the photo with the blog entry.)

The label said it was an entry for a Home Furnishings / Non-Threaded Needlecraft. The trouble is, I can't figure out what it is.

The fact that I can't figure out what it is should be construed as a criticism of me rather than of the item -- I am not crafty and I while I admire all the quilts and needlepoint and clothesmaking at the Fair, it unfortunately is not something I can do myself. So while it's might be obvious to the craft folks what this is, I'm not getting it!

And I wish I did because it's so intriguing! There are bloodshot eyeballs all the way around. If you look up at the top of the item you see what looks like a mad scientist rubber duck complete with lab coat and gray hair. (I LOVE this rubber duck!) There are spiders ...and are those abbreviated gummi worms around the sides?
