Mice!

Had the honor to work on a custom order for something I've never done before: a MOUSE. A pink one at that! Honestly didn't know how it would come out and had fun picking up some new supplies to realize it and.....voila'!

My daughter Michelle seemed to particularly like it, so I let her browse through my yarn stash, pick up the colors, the eyes and the nose for her little friend....I present you Scurfy.

I guess she really loves it since I found this drawing made by her this morning

She drew herself in the middle in orange, the yellow tiger at her left is "Jaguar" a stuffed lion cub that she adopted when she was 3 and goes wherever she goes. Behind Jaguar, in red is her new hedgehog that I got from FerretLadyDesigns that she named "Spykee" and on her right in blue you can easily see her mouse.

Still wondering if I should offer mice in my shop. I have limited supply for now but I can sure make custom orders if anyone is interested :)

Let's know more about Grace's world by herself:
"Welcome to Grace Hester Designs on Etsy. Originally from Singapore, now living in the US. I enjoy designing and creating products for the busy moms who appreciate modern and personalized products. Most of my designs are silhouette- or typography-based as I gravitate towards simple and fuss-free aesthetics.

I have 2 young daughters, a two-year-old, and a five-year-old who are often “featured” in my banners. They are the inspiration for all of the items in the store – and also the distraction most of the time as I prepare them by hand or on the computer. (But that’s the life I love)

My prints are printed on high-gloss and resin-coated photographic paper that allows the colors in my prints to show beautifully. The prints are smudge- and water-resistant and of archival-quality so they are perfect for keepsake prints meant to be treasured through the years. For all other artwork, I try as much as possible to use archival-quality materials and will note if I was not able to do so in the listing."
