Celeste, A Moonlight Mouse

 

Little Celeste has a moon phase embroidered dress of cream wool on black cotton. Each moon is appliqued, embroidered and then beaded to give a lovely texture. Embroidered and applique stars dance across her skirt and she has an embroidered star to her sachet.
Her dress is lined with Faria Flowers by Liberty and she is finished with little black shoes, organza ribbon and tiny buttons. She has snowflake obsidian to her heart with heady rose petals to her stuffing. I just loved making her xx

Aruna, A Midnight Bunny

This is Aruna, my first midnight bunny. Dressed in Liberty Tana Lawn Hiro, a vintage Liberty print with larch cones and branches before a full moon. You can just see the moon peeping between the branches on the right of her skirt.

She has snowflake obsidian to her heart and rose petals to her stuffing. Finished with tiny buttons, organza ribbon and black lace she is the first of several midnight bunnies.

Phlox, A Midnight Mouse

 

Little Phlox is a midnight mouse with little black leather ears and tail. She has rose petals to her stuffing and a rose quartz crystal to her heart. Dressed in Antonia Bloom by Liberty of London, her dress is completed with mulberry shot cotton and black lace. Painted in gouache by the artists in the Liberty Fabrics studio, Antonia Bloom features daisies and phlox half-hidden within a flourishing garden of leaves
Thankfully coming to an end of all the work at home, she is the first of new midnight mice, bunnies and witches with a few bobtail bunnies thrown in for good measure. So lovely to be at work in my studio space again xx

Godith, An Autumn Fairy Godmother

The start of the Autumn tones for me, this is Godith, a midnight fairy godmother. Dressed in Lockwood by Liberty Lawn, she has carnelian to her heart with rose petals to her stuffing and a haze of ginger hair. A hand painted and embroidered face with tiny gold coloured accents, she is ready for the falling leaves to come.

Peppermint, A Mint Mohair Mouse

 

This is little Peppermint, a mohair mouse in minty German Sparse Mohair and dressed in a vintage Liberty print tana lawn called Mitsi from 1910. She has mint to her stuffing and a moss agate crystal to her heart for Joy. I love her fuzzyness!

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.

Nepte, In a Summer Meadow Dress

 

This is Nepte, a little grey mouse with a meadow embroidery to her skirt. Applique and buttons add to the detail of her skirt pattern on an up cycled chambray shirt fabric. Just an idea to extend embroidery onto the dress.
Liberty fabric is used on the applique and to her underskirt with lace to finish.
