Little mohair mouse, a commission for a lovely lady. Dressed in Liberty Lawn Capel pink she is an exercise in subtlety. I would never have combined such gentle colours but I love the result. It is so interesting when you make someone else's choice of colours and are both surprised and delighted.
With rose quartz to her heart and with rose petals to her stuffing she is pretty in pink. I like her combination so much I am going to investigate more such subtle designs. Using my trademark acorn on her sachet, it needed to be a silver one to continue the lightness of her palette and BeadMolly on ebay came up trumps. I now have my usual bronze with both silver and gold coloured acorns.
Her underskirt was also Liberty Lawn in rose pink, the whole dress was so fine that I had to use a seventy needle throughout, changing to a hundred needle for shoes and heavy seams.
Been a busy, busy week, with lots of gallery work and commission. Having a weekend in the garden and looking forward to tomatoes, courgettes and peppers.
Enjoy you holiday weekend and my warmest wishes xx
