Description
So... i've been sorting out my Dresser & decided to remove these as they are now starting to 'age'
I made these 'Mice throughout the ages'some 24+yrs ago! Two of them are now fading & the whites are going discoloured... not bad for their age i suppose.
In time i hope to make two cabinates for them... until then i wanted to make sure they didn't deteriorate anymore, so for now they're packed away.
If only i'd have known that it was just up the road then... they stopped making them before i got to complete the set, just two short
Dunlicraft 'mice throughtout the ages'. Leicester.
All hand made by me... body & dress.
I enjoyed making them very much but they were very fiddly
Average height 10"
This one has slight fading but not to noticable & is the smallest, due to having no real head gear

What lovely work you do, so talented with the needle and thread...I can stitch of course but not clothes, that's my mom's area...have you looked on ebay for the ones you don't have? You never know..Excellent work!

It's always been a passion of mine... any sort of sewing that is, except for mending
Indeed we did look & found one i don't have but after all this time i feel it would look a little odd to add a new one
Thank you
