Great responses to the original question. Thanks everyone. Seems I misunderstood.....the bait was wrapped in Pellon wonder web for the textured looking base, then the stripes were added. I really like the randomness of the stripes. I suppose cardboard could be used to make a stencil that would produce random striping. If its done freehand I'll have to admit that I don't have that level of airbrush control just yet.
