A Woodland Mouse Meal
The Nutmegs and I have resumed work on the woodland house. You can see earlier versions of the house when it was first built, and after it got its mossy covering. This week, we built a tiny twig table, complete with a hanging hook for a basket of wildflowers and other forest-foraged goodies. And we […]

A (Very) Colorful Miniature Room
It’s been a busy month here in the studio, and the mice and I have been dividing our time between filling orders, working on the mossy mouse house, and building a new commission for a museum in D.C., which we’re super excited about. The commission is for a room box with the theme “dream room,” […]
