I was at a woodcarving show a few years back and seen carved mice that hang on a coffee mug. If I remember right the back legs were on the outside and front paws were just over the inside and the mouse seemed to be looking in. Would love to find a pattern for these meese.

I couldn't find a pattern but I found a photo:

Looks similar to the traditional shelf mouse, except you only see the front legs and feet.

Maybe that could be a pattern for you to start with.

In Carving Magazine Issue #9, they had an article by "Ol' Don" Burgdorf on "Critters who Live in Glass Houses. Similar idea, only they were hanging from the inside of the glass.

I don't know which mouse pattern you are looking for , seems there are two types being talked about. Anyway here are two that I have , one is the original shelf mouse( or summer Mouse) I posted here before and the other is an adaptation making it a mug mouse that hangs on the lip of a glass( on the outside).

I hate mice!!!! I think I will be changing my avatar. I hate mice so bad I don't even want to look at my carved mouse anymore. For the past two weeks I have been redoing the new silkie pens in 1/8 inch hardware cloth since the can get in 1/2 inch easily. Then I went on a mission to kill the little $%@#^*&(. Used snap traps, got a few. Had the hubby out there with a hammer while I stirred them out. Finally resorted to posion (sp?) . Put it away from the pens, but then thought I would put a few pullets down a hole in the "common yard". Put dirt back in and a board on top. Next day let a couple of pens of chickens out. Next morning the Reserve National Champion was dead, day after my National Champion was dead and another sick. The sick one has recovered. I tjought it through I thought but did not anticipate the mice kicking the stuff back out since the hole was deep and covered. A really hard lesson learned. Now I'll shut up.

A good mouser will take care of those pesky little meeses. But then Tom hasn't done so with Jerry!

Absolutely precious pattern.... hope you don't mind this 'thief in the night' trying it, too. Your carvings look awesome! D'
