I had such fun with Maurice... Dickens of a time with his top hat, but he says it's fine...
I hope he has given you a smile...
He was sculpted with a mix of polymer clays, hand applied fur and heat set paints for details..
Stands 2 1/2" tall with out his hat.

ReplyDeleteO.K., now that I have literally picked myself off the floor, I can finally comment. Penny, you are too, too, too, too much!!!!! HE IS PERFECTLY CUTE AND CHARMING INDEED! I feel like calling you to TELL you with an enthusiastic voice about how GENIUS YOU ARE! Look at his little toes...this is YOUR signature dearest; those little pointy toes are genius. You have given me the BIGGEST SMILE this morning. I AM HOME TODAY! I think I am goin' to be steppin' out today with MAURICE here....I will be back and as soon as Ruben is up, I am steering him here. He is going to love Maurice and Maurice will be snatched up in a hot minute. THE MUSIC IS PERFECT!!! OH, now Monsieur Maurice Chevalier is singing.....oh là là...you bring such joy dearest. MUCH LOVE TO YOU, Anita
ReplyDeleteTo cute for words....he must come to the wedding on Valentines day...he looks like a Romeo to me...:)))
ReplyDeleteThat little top hat reminds me of this wonderful young gal that graced my shop yesterday. She had a vintage top hat on from her great grandfather and it actually collapsed down to flat. I'd never seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteNow..Maurice...I once new a dashing man called Maurice. He played the accordian and danced...but not like your Maurice...on the tip of the wee mouse toes...
You did it again...created a sweet mouse being...love your work!

Ahhh...I need a bit of elegance because I have been painting MYSELF and splattering Ruben's beautiful white walls with gray paint for the TV frame! Maurice, dahling, mon cher, DANSEZ AVEC MOI MON BRAVE....teeeheeee! The song M. Chevalier is singing is called, "IT HAPPENED ONE SUNDAY" and of course, he is talking about the lovely gal he met one Sunday and her striking beauty! THIS MAURICE is quite the lady mouse's man!!! RUBEN LOVED HIM SO MUCH! We had been out ALL DAY, I was not expecting that....but it was fun, for we got some drapes and rods and TODAY is the big event of hanging Ruben's 100lb flat screen TV. I always get nervous helping him lift that! I think I am calling our 6'4 neighbor over for that one! But on our way to the stores, we put on Steve Miller's old song, "Space Cowboy" where he says, "Some people call me MAURICE..."we just cracked up because we both love little pointy-toed Maurice. Well dear one, I slept in 'til 5:00 and it is 5:30 and HE is up..meaning I won't be getting my blog post up until maybe late tonight or even tomorrow!!!! It gives me one more day to try to take decent pictures....I will be in and out today!!! BISES, Anita
ReplyDeleteHi Penny! Oh yes, Maurice gave me a very BIG smile! Such a handsome little fellow he is...and I love his top hat and cane! How adorable! :D Have a great weekend! :D Paulette

THANK YOU FOR VISITING RABBIT HILL YESTERDAY! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY DEAR HEART! I will be back later via email...Anita

Thank you again!

Oh Gosh, Maurice is to *die* for !*grin*
ReplyDeleteSweet Penny, Today was a the first day in months that we had a gorgeous weather.... sunny, clear and warm high 60's. I thought of you when i took a break and *sat* outside and watch the sheep and baby lambs. yes, my dear friend.... I always will. Happy valentine's Day!!!
After waiting for Days, Bebe was presented to the Lacefield children this evening after a special Valentine's dinner. To say she took our breath away is an understatement, Penny. Truly, you outdid yourself dressing her!! The gown feels and looks soft to the touch, and the folds make it appear to be flowing in the air. The skirt's delicate border of glitter shimmers in the lamplight. I finally had to settle her back into her red tin for safety's sake (and to settle everyone down!!). All the flockling wanted me to tell you THANK YOU and how much you put a big sparkle into our Valentine celebration.
ReplyDeleteShe truly is a moussie masterpeice, and we absolutely LOVE her! Thank you...thank you...
your devoted friends, Rose, Gary and flockling
I THOUGHT I HEARD SOME TIPPY TOE STEPS on the new floor last night! Then I looked over and there was Bebe and MAURICE, dancing the night away! And I left a BIG BOWL of purple grapes for you dearest, for I saw that you DID come over to take another peak at the rooms!!!! Teeeheee! Oh, how I dream of you being here and seeing our rooms. I hope you had a quiet and lovely evening last night dearest; we had a couch picnic and I just drifted away....much love to you on this fine day my dear, dear friend, Anita

Dear Penny, Maurice is one high steppin' mouse. I love that you give your creatures that pudgy little belly with the belly button dimple. It just cracks me up.
Thanks for visiting Heavenly Minded and Earthly Good. I thought my friends would get a chuckle out of that Valentine post.
Your friend,
Ruben
