I have had such a warm response to my brooches. I am enjoying making these little mice and bird brooches so much, that I thought I would add the designs to a coin purse. I used plain cream cotton and covered each side in muslin....textural goodness :-) Then applied two little vignettes of mices. I think I watched too much Tom and Jerry when I was little.
Thanks for putting up with the cheesaliciousness content of this post!
Before I go, I wondered if you could spare a minute or two to visit a couple of newish blogs.
Firstly angela is a good friend of mine. She is a jewellery maker and has lots going on. We used to live next door to each other and share a Studio at one time.
Secondly you may already know 101birdtales if not, well worth a visit. Amelia's current post, may just be of help!
A touch of nostalgia here ..... produced by Fred Quimby and very apt for Thanksgiving.
Thank you all once again for your supportive comments and for stopping by. x
Oooh - thanks for the mention!! Would be delighted to think that my latest post would be helpful to people in any way!
ReplyDeleteThe purses look great!
I have real mice in my house at the moment - hhhhmmmm!

A little mouse with clogs on, well I declare going clip clippety clop onto a Hens teeth purse!
ReplyDeleteWhere else would these little meeces rather be? I shouldn't think these will hang around your Etsy shop for long Viv, they are gorgeous.
I am off to light the fire and read the papers it is tipping it down outside and cold too,
Love Sarah x
Might be cheesy but we can forgive you... the little purses are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI just love the birdies!!
ReplyDeleteYou can be as cheesey as you like!!x
Cheesy? I don't think so, but even if it was - they're mice! Of course there would be cheese around. Cute purses. xx
ReplyDeleteThe mice are so cute, they remind me of the mice in Bagpuss. I like the birdies too, you are so talented.

The Tom and Jerry cartoon sure brought back memories. I use to watch them when I was a little girl and I'm 60 now!! They don't produce funny, endearing cartoons like this anymore.
ReplyDeleteI love the little mouse.
ReplyDeleteI always loved the mice in Bagpuss.x
