A few weeks ago when I posted about a new bookmark I had made the moderator at the 25 Motif Challenge made a comment about the abbreviated version of it, "Does anyone else see a mouse here?"
Another look at the picture I had taken and, sure enough, it looked like a mouse. I hadn't even noticed that when I took it. Then I thought "some eyes, some whiskers, maybe a little nose - it wouldn't take much to make a mouse."
After a little tweeking and a few beads, it did.
Introducing Morgan Mouse!

Morgan is made in Lizbeth #131 Vineyard Harvest and #644 Boysenberry Dk, size 20, with three 11/0 black glass beads. The center is an 8-point finding (doodad) that is about .5 inches (1.27 cm) across. A flat-backed "diamond" is glued to the center of the doodad. For anyone that might be interested in the pattern it has been posted to the Pattern tab.
Any of you check out the full moon this weekend? Did you know it was a "supermoon"? This weekend the moon passed as close to the earth as it will ever be this year, making the moon look bigger and brighter. It was very beautiful!

People have taken some great pictures of it (not me). Check out a few of them at http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/24/world/ireport-supermoon-creative-photos
It was so bright that, along with dry conditions, a lot of people worked into the early morning hours harvesting wheat, at least they did around here. We saw one crew still out at midnight in a field cutting. We just enjoyed how beautiful the night was ☺

ReplyDeleteI love your mouse, I would rather have him than the real one.
ReplyDeleteWe missed the moon for cloud, gorgeous picture of the moon, our wheat won't be ready until August in the UK and it might be later as our spring was very wet and the garden plants are behind this year on other years.
