Gene Simmons from Kiss Mouse

A few days ago I got one of those custom order requests that just made me go "Yay!!" A returning customer asked me if I could make her a Gene Simmons from Kiss mouse! I loved the idea! Here is how he looks all finished.



I am thinking about adding him to my store as a regular, although that will have to wait until my computer is back from the shop so I can use Photoshop make the pictures look better. I am still using my sloooow laptop at the moment, although we are expecting to get my main computer back any day now.

What do you think of Gene Simmons Mouse, do you think he should become a regular in my store?

Ironmouse

I was asked to make a custom Ironman Mouse recently, he was a very tricky mouse to make and my first attempt was just not right. So I restarted him from scratch and using card instead of felt for his amour. He took me about 5 hours to make from start to finish. I have to say after all that work that I am pleased with the final result, but I won't be making him a regular in my store, he would be too expensive because of the amount of time he takes to make.



If you have any suggestions for mice I should make you can post them here. If you would like to order a custom mouse, feel free to contact me with your ideas.

Disaster!

Total, complete and utter disaster. I have lost my mouse book. I had this wonderful little journal that I bought from Kreativlink that I kept all my mouse ideas in, and its gone!


I have searched the whole house for it, I think I must have left it in a café. Someone is going to be very confused when they open it.

It just has lists of ideas for mice I want to make like:
Dalek Mouse
Mouse Chess Set
Terminator Mouse
Fireman Mouse
Zodiac Mice
etc...
For pages and pages and pages! Some of them were suggestions other people had made to me too, and now all the ideas are gone.

Can you help me make a new list by suggesting mice you would like to see in my store? Fortunately I have another of Kreativlink's journals that I can put the new ideas in, this one will not be leaving the house!
