I'd never even heard of one before. But they're cute little critters, and I really enjoyed making this order. The outer fur is my usual favourite - Alpaca fibre. I blended a brown and black to make a darker brown, as I just didn't have a dark enough brown. All worked out though, and I'm happy with the result. Not as happy as Fred though, who was very intrigued! :D
The whiskers are horse hair that were very kindly sent to me by a follower of my facebook page, from a gorgeous horse called Toby. Thank you Lisa & Toby!
Fred seems to think Dumbo Rat looks like dinner! |
The rat is wonderful (as is the clever sign) and I think the photo of Fred with rat is cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lyn :) Fred's a good boy and he knows these aren't toys, and he leaves them alone usually, but he liked having the invitation to come and see rat for a photo :) x
