I love the shelf mice... maybe better than the shelf elve's that some posted some time back. I've gotta have some of those!

Great job and thanks for the idea!

yep from the pattern posted somewhere on the wci.

found that a 2" coil of invisible thread for whiskers pulled through a super small hole with a loop of same material & glued into place with elmers works so much better than anything else i could find,
After photos were taken I also used black glass beads for eyes.

the cat loves them!

i put one on my daughters computer without her knowing and she flipped out !
hee hee!!

i have made a couple stretch versions of them head down is about 3 inches not including the 3" leather tail but with looking forward kind they grow 2 mote inches for some reason....
thanks for the comments
apparently i like them rough cut (not smoothly finished) because the picture shows i didnt take enough time to do them completely

oh the round glass beads worked great for the eyes
