Mice
These mice are absolutely adorable, so much detail to their faces and hats, and being 6 inches are not too tiny. I think these would look lovely as part of a halloween table display, with mini pumpkins and some black cats.
You can get them from www.handmadeartistsshop.com in the dolls and miniatures section. Please have a look at the artist's own website too for more primitive products and classes, for those nearby. www.mylovi.com

Folksy Shop
I've started a Folksy shop because I have become bored with Etsy and Artfire. They have changed their emphasis from the crafters to their own commercialism. Both started out as sites for hand made items, with the crafter as their main focus. but clearly there are mass produced items for sale on both sites. Handmade should stand out in its own right.
Its now time for me to support UK craft sites. The small team at Folksy are dedicated to encouraging and keeping alive all types of craft forms from allover the world.
Folksy's emphasis is on unique and small productions of items which really means that the buyer is getting something unique and handmade. In my opinion mass production and handmade do not sit well together. Handmade implies that time, skills and knowlege have been invested in the item. That the crafter is giving something of themselves to the item, a feature that mass production does not have, and as many crafters like to tell you, their item has been made with love. That makes it special.
If you have never had a Folksy shop, then please give it a go, its inexpensive and you can sell as many items as you like.
If you would like to see some of my items for sale already posted please visit
