Three More Mice

Before I went on holiday I was asked if I could make three more mice with specific colours of clothing and accessories.

The brief for this one was grey clothing and pink accessories.

And for this one, green clothing and turquoise accessories.

And for this one, purple clothing and teal accessories.

They all have the same style of clothing, ie the decoration of the toggles and piece on the top of the hat are all the same as per the request.

Pleased to say that the person who requested them is happy with the photos of them.

Sleepy Mice

I wanted to make something for a friends birthday and when in conversation, she mentioned mice. So I decided to have a go following Sarafina's sleepy mice tutorial which I followed apart from the eyes as I wanted open not closed eyes, but I'm really pleased with how these came out. I used the NZ carded batts from The Felt Box which felted up really well. 

Sat up on the needle felted cushion.

I filled a shallow plastic dish with shredded tissue paper and placed the mice inside. I like the patterned fabric that I'd put them on, so I decided to cover the plastic dish with the fabric.

Once covered, I filled the dish with the shredded paper and added the mice.

I wrapped them with celephane and finished them off with a ribbon. Fingers crossed she likes it.
