I’ve stitched these sweet mice from some beautiful Intercal mohair. They have beady lil eyes and stitched nose and mouth. Their whiskers and tails are heavy cord. Ears are lined with reproduction cotton. They each have a wool neck wrap and a rusty heart bell. I've stitched them atop a velvet tuffet and mounted it atop a distressed paper mache box. Box inside remains unfinished. I've added a paper clay heart which I've stamped and painted and aged. Just under 8 inches tall. They will come signed and dated. Sold individually, artist's choice. Great to add some ^^warmth^^ for Valentine's Day or all year long. *$44.00 each plus $6.50 postage in the USA*. One little mouse remaining…..
I've created this extra prim heart hanger from heavy natural linen. It's stuffed firmly with fiberfil. I've stenciled in olde time grainsack style with replica antique font. Great for the Valentine's or for your every day decor. I've aged it deeply and added rusty jingle bell and rusty wire hanger. Just over 12 inches, including the hanging loop and bell. It has been been created by me, Denise Davis, in my smoke free, kittycat friendly home, a Sassafras Hill original. *tis spoken for, thank you*
This is one of my fun rolled wool quillie Valentine hearts, created with strips of wool rolled together. They combined quite nicely for this beautiful heart hanger. There are countless hours of work rolling and assembling this piece. The quillies are applied to the front side of a wool heart. I’ve added a beautiful braided wool hanger and a rusty heart bell and jingle bell on the tip. . A one of a kind treasure that should bring you joy for many years to come! About 15 inches long, including the hanger, and about 8 1/2 inches across. Created with many loving stitches in my smoke free home, a Sassafras Hill original. *'tis spoken for, many thanks for your purchase*
