Laurie Hardin: A Little Halloween Mouse

Monkey-Cats Studio

These are the reason for "Monkey-Cats" Studio receiving the name. Pretty cute when they were kittens but they are now 9 years old, still think they are kittens and try to fit in the same spaces on my studio table. For some reason these two have very long tails like a monkey and received the nickname monkey boys from my husband. We are sure they can swing upside down by those tails! Their real names are Jake and Elwood, after the Blues Brothers, because they try to do the right thing but they are just naughty.

A Little Halloween Mouse

Sorry for the long delay in getting a new post up, but we went to Montana to a niece's wedding over the weekend so I was gone for 5 days. The bride was beautiful, and the day was lovely so we were so glad to be able to share in the couple's joy.

The little fellow below is a new figure for me...a mouse. I have him posed on the top edge of the jack-o'-lantern appearing to need the stem of the pumpkin to balance himself. I'm still contemplating if he needs a Halloween bucket or not. He doesn't have one in the sketch, but I'll know as he starts to get some paint on him if it needs a little more flare.

I'm off now to go get back into the paper mache clay. Have a great weekend!
