I took a break from the raccoon making (I swear I was starting to see them in my sleep), and made this little mouse for my Aunt (to be a gift for her granddaughter who's graduating from High School in June). She's going to insist on paying me - I HATE that!!! I don't like taking money from relatives, I'd much rather it just be a gift. I'm thinking I'll just mail it with an invoice for $1.00 LOL
He is so cute! How did you make that cap?
ReplyDeleteOh this is the best group of letters I have ever had to type in to post in someones blog, butflo
OMG! LOL
He's really cute, Fiver! I know what you mean about the relative thing. Ilike your idea of the invoice!
ReplyDeleteThank you Catherine and Robin!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, what on earth does "butflo" mean?? It sounds rather disgusting, LOL.
The top part of the cap is just two small squares of Bristol board glued together and I just used embroidery floss for the tassle. I got the idea from a little tutorial on the internet. Here's the link: http://miniatures.about.com/od/miniatureprojects/ss/mortarboard.htm For the bottom of the cap, I just used cardboard and a piece of black ribbon.
He's cute, wonderful gift :)
ReplyDeleteCute cute and cute. So incredibly tiny and perfect.I'm sure that it will be much loved Have a nice day Rosanna
ReplyDeleteThe mouse is sooooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteSo you have an Aunt who is graduating ? How young are you, Kristy :)? Anyhoo, I can see how you need to really get away from them when you call them raccon *hehe. Sorry, I teased people about their typos especially when I am incredibly jealous of their talents :). Your little rat is super adorable. What's her name?
ReplyDeleteYou should let her pay you, my dear because otherwise, she will not feel good asking you to make her something :). Better still, ask her to cook you your favourite dish as an exchange like Singapore chicken rice maybe LOL.
Hello
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I just
want to say that I love your
little animals - especially the
graduate mouse and the animal smoking area! Such pretty little
creatures!

LMAO, SUSAN!!!!! OOOOPS! I fixed it now, hahaha. Thank you for pointing that out! And my Aunt isn't graduating from high school silly!! It's her granddaughter (my cousin's daughter).
ReplyDeleteGood idea about having her cook me something, although I doubt she knows how to cook Singapore chicken rice, lol.
He is so cute!!!!!So tiny and so perfect
ReplyDeletegroetjes Ingrid
Die ist so putzig.... wunderbar gemacht!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße PuNo/Monika
Pero que preciosidad!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeguro que le va a encantar.
Es tan dulce!!!, a pesar de ser un ratoncito jejejeje
besitos ascension
Another heart melting creation coming form your hands... you are awesome Kristy!!!
ReplyDeleteso adorable Kristy!!! I agree it's hard to ask for money from a relative- but sometimes they want to pay to let you know they value you as an artist. I always pay my brother for anything he makes me because I think his work is worth it and I'm guessing your Aunt thinks the same :) I would!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everyone - virtual hugs to you all!! I'm thinking I'll add to my aunt's invoice "1 hug". She'll owe me $1.00 and 1 hug. How can she refuse that? LOL
ReplyDeleteWelcome Eva J. :) You are my 70th follower!! I guess I better start thinking about a give-away when I reach 100.
ReplyDeleteso sweet!! I love it!
ReplyDelete*steals the cap*
