Tea Rat meets Rattus

A while back,  Anita, of Castles Crowns and Cottages asked me if I would re-create  Tea Rat from her illustration. Of  course I would be honored, I said..  When she received dear Tea Rat she asked that I also bring Rattus to life in wool  from her delightful illustrations. Would you say no? What fun I had with Rattus and Tea Rat.. Daily conversations went on as I needle felted..  Tea Rat was very polite, as was Rattus, but oh my could he talk your ear off!  What a wonderful journey this was...

Picking up my clay... Bebe is back

A warm hello to all of you...  Bebe has been away for so long, and I have missed her, so I picked up my clay and here she is...  Her fur was hand cut and applied tiny pieces at a time..  She has black glass inset eyes. Her dress and hat are pale blue polymer clay with sculpted wee little roses.. She stands a mere 3 inches tall.  She is now available on ebay

 

We had quite the conversation as I sculpted away... I hope she makes you smile..

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend.

blessings,

Penny and Bebe

 

see you soon, thank you for visiting!
