I had posted this mouse on the Reddit forum. I wasn’t happy with the hat I had originally created for him so I made him a new hat.
The hat and coat are removable. The coat buttons up. The silk for the vest is left over from a dress I made in 1972.
Created eyelids for this mouse which seems to make him look a bit more serious than I would like. Partially I think that is the result of the size of the beads I used for the eyes. I’ve purchased some larger round beads so I will be able to test that theory some time in the future.

My, he DOES look serious, but it’s a good look for him. Like a Mouse not to be trifled with. :slight_smile:

Here are some other views of him and you can see the first hat as well. Too snowy to be taking photos of him outside now! :wink:

This little guy is truly magical. His eyes, brows, and little hands. Don’t get me started on his waistcoat!

Too cute! I know he’s a mouse but for some reason he really reminds me of Ratty from Wind in the Willows.

Thanks so much!! >^…^<
I’ll probably do another mouse before too long (bought some black beads which I hope will be better eyes). Right now I’m experimenting with needle/wet felting pendants. :wink:
