Bonbon, A Mohair Mouse in Pink

 

This is Bonbon a little mohair mouse in the palest pink sparse mohair. I really enjoy the mohair and love the results. Bonbon has a hand embroidered face with a copper bead for her eyes. She has a pink leather tail and ears and has a rose quartz crystal to her heart with rose petals in her stuffing.
The candy mice started off in cotton cloth but to my horror when made up the pink one looked like she was hairless or worse skinned! So had to have a rethink and I do love the mohair. The fabric is a Liberty print called Poppy and Daisy. Originally a woodblock print from 1910, one of the Liberty classic fabrics.
