A series of photos inspired by a cross-stitch embroidery I did years ago...

The Forest Dweller women are certainly very busy.

I love how you choose your colors. No matter what your characters are wearing the colors always compliment each other. I also love how the bead chain and the tape measure show movement.

Very industrious little critters! They are so cute and so tiny. The spools of thread and the tape measure give a hint of how diminutive the Forest Dwellers really are.

Do you still have the cross stitch embroidery that inspired these photos?

Thank you. Yes, those mice are very small. They are just 10 cm tall.

Yes, I have the embroidery hanging in my bathroom, so I see it every day. I wondered if I could reproduce it with my mice, using my collection of vintage wooden thread spools, and other sewing accessories.

Oh! Too cute!! Would it be possible for us to see the cross stitch that inspired this?
