Old Mouse by Lizardie Date : 2008/05/06(Tue) 18:51 No.170 Russia, Italy
I decided to make this mouse in order to check whether I designed the pattern properly. While I was working on the base of the body, I have found out that the pattern was not really what I expected it to be. So, I left the body lying in the corner and almost forgot about it. Once upon a time I have realized that I expect and demand too much from myself and from my toys. Everything have the right to exist, even though it does not seem to be perfect. I understood that if I devote my time to complete this awkward body, I will get the result anyhow. I got down to this work again and created the head and the paws, wrapped the silk thread round the wire of the tail. Then I have sewed her the blue peignoir, embroidered in the glittering thread, decorated the flowers with strass, and put on the Czech bead pendant. That's how this elderly fancy vintage-style mouse appeared. Maybe she also needs a little walking stick, but I am still not sure about it. The height of this doll is 10 cm, it was born in February 2008, lives in Pisa, Italy.

As for me, the idea itself and your love, patience and skills are more important than the quality of materials. I know people who are able to by the best materials and tools, but their works are not impressive at all. So, good luck!Re: Old Mouse - Terry Weiss 2008/07/06(Sun) 11:09 No.185 USA I think your mouse is charming! A walking stick would be nice, or a little umbrella.

Much the same as children. keep at it.Re: Old Mouse - Anonymous 2013/06/16(Sun) 09:09 No.534 Absolutely gorgeous. I love it. I'd love to be able to make something like this someday!Re: Old Mouse - Armando 2015/12/02(Wed) 19:43 No.628 7WY1pgyLJz2R I do enjoy the way you have framed this ptcairular situation plus it does indeed offer me personally some fodder for consideration. Nevertheless, because of what I have seen, I really trust when the actual feedback pack on that men and women stay on issue and not start upon a soap box involving the news du jour. All the same, thank you for this outstanding piece and while I do not concur with the idea in totality, I value the viewpoint.
