Just a quickie to show you Marmalade in his full, finished glory.
As you can see, he has a bell around his neck. He has claws. He has an enigmatic smile.
And since you last met him he has done one of two things…
Either:
a) made a friend, or
b) caught his dinner.
I’ll leave it for you to decide. ♥
he’s adorable!
I reckon it’s a friend. Marmalade has the air of a well-fed cat….
Although the mouse has those dead eyes…!
Maybe he’s a tiny bit terrified at his situation, but still hoping for the best.
Ahh, I love your optimism. Have you ever had a cat?!
Several! But none, I have to say, were quite so colourful or friendly looking. They were universally arrogant and grumpy, and any mouse within 300 yards was lunch. Marmalade’s mouse has the air of one who walks very quietly in the presence of a dangerous predator who’s not hungry, for now…
I think I’ve fallen in love! Is he a commission or will he be for sale? If for sale, any chance I could have first dibs? He’s gorgeous! xxxx
He is for sale Zoë – and most definitely yours if you want him! £25 plus postage (I’ll let you know how much that is later today). He is the first in a series of new cushions I’m making for my new webshop, launching at the end of the month.
Oh yes please! He’s gorgeous 🙂 How exciting about your new webshop and site – I bet I’ll want everything!! How would you like to do the sale? No problem if you need to hang on to him for a while xx
I don’t need to hang on to him. You can just pay via PayPal, if that’s ok. I’ll send details when I’ve confirmed the postage cost.
Perfect – thanks so much xxx
