I just finished my little mousey last night, and made a few changes to the pattern. I couldnt figure out what the squiggles were on the side, perhaps whiskers, but I left them off. I didnt use the little beads on top of his head, as they were very tiny and I used silver thread instead. I didnt have a tail, so will just add a little snip of leather later. I do have a wire hanger I could use, but will think more about it. I think I used smaller count fabric, and I cant tell you how many mistakes I made...ha ha ha...I just figured they would all work out in the end, and now that it is made, it looks perfect to me. I just love his little nose, or is it a her?? I cant wait to make the garden one. I just used a piece of metal for the bottom, and covered it with linen and sewed it to make it stand. The whiskers are made with a tatting thread that is coated. It is super thin! Tell me what you think, I even ended up buying more floss as I lost all the bobbins that I had pulled. Somewhere they are hiding along with my orange stork scissors...:( I thought as soon as I finished it, I would find them...no luck yet!
Wow! Wonderful work, especially with all the teeny, tiny details. This is on my to do list and now that I see how cute it is close-up, I will definitely be sittching it. I can only hope it will turn out as nicely as yours. :)
Oh it is easy to do, I just mis-counted, and thought I would make it work. Because you dont see it flat, you never notice. I am glad you liked my closeups. It does make it easier to see how adorable they are!!! I could even see the dog hair!!! Thanks for your comment!:D
