First In a New Series!

I've been meaning for a long time to make a series of tiny mohair bears to be companions for Blythe dolls, Lati dolls, and Dal dolls. I had done teeny cherry koolaid bears a while back, and I loved them...they're kind of threadbare and a little sad. Here was the first:

Second Teeny Cherry Mouse

I loved making the mice even smaller...thought it would be harder but he almost looks better tiny.

Ds Müüsli

I was asked to do a 2.5 inch teeny weeny mohair mouse by Annina in Sweden...I've never shrunk the pattern that far down, but wqanted to try...and to my surprise and excitement, it worked GREAT! It was so fun, and I almost like the look of the tiny size better than the bigger ones I've made.

A New Bear...Pierre

I finally decided to use a little bit of this gorgeous curly blonde mohair I've had a while. I sold my little Claudia bear a while back, and thought I should make a similar one...thus Pierre was born. He has needlefelted arms and legs...I love to needlefelt...I had to dye some cream colored roving in lemon koolaid to match the fur.

And...I made some changes to little tutu mouse. I think she looks a lot more fetching now:

More Mice and Bunnies

I'm finishing up a couple of commissions...in black...They happened so close together, must have been something in the air that day! The first is a bunny and the second is a tutu mouse in black... with pink eyes by request...I really love getting requests because otherwise I wouldn't think to or get around to doing these things...people have really great ideas out there.

Tutu with Tiara

I keep getting the itch to make a mouse for myself...then I end up listing them all on etsy. I guess that's what keeps me sewing. This one ended up with a little loopy tiara...and translucent crystal eyes...

White Rabbit

I have this really swell white mohair that was calling out to be a white rabbit. So of course I had to answer that call. I decided to give the needle felted arms a little more shape than I normanlly do...so he has thumbs! And these really cool red Swarovski crystal eyes, which are a teeny bit opaque..
