Mice are mushy romantics at heart! They believe chivalry is not dead, romance is an art form, and that a warm smile is worth a thousand words. My studio mice are no different. With Valentine's Day fast approaching, the mice have been busy brushing their wooly coats and cutting out red hearts to offer while courting.
Cupid carries a quiver of woolen hearts and is ready with a line or two of latin to woo the lady mice. He is not above some mischievous match making amongst his peers.
I used an old camel hair coat, laundered, to make Cupid. I really love his texture!
Cyrano has high hopes of finding the love of his life this February. He is quiet but thoughtful and quite poetic. He can quote Marlowe on the fly and steals hearts with his unassuming charm.
Cyrano is one of 2 last mice made of this particular vintage cashmere suiting. Luckily I have found another gray cashmere suit to upcycle into a new generation of mice.
Cupid and Cyrano are off to Galveston's Hendley Market this week to sprinkle romance along the Strand. They will be missed in the studio, but other romantics are hot on their heels.
LOVE & POETIC MICE!
