Subject: Mouse
I really like this mouse.
I just drew it with my finger, then colored it in with some art filters. It reminds me of some of the cute patches that were sewn on (or ironed on) my cutoff shorts and other clothes, in the 1970s.
I had a little toy mouse when I was a kid - it’s name was “Grey Mouse”. It was only about 3 inches tall, made of felt. I think it was intended as cat toy, but it was given to me as a gift from my Uncle. I held on to Grey Mouse for a few years, gripping him tightly in my hand. I’m not a mouse person, or even a rodent/hamster/gerbil person, in fact I think they stink. Never did see the value in keeping them as pets, even as a kid.
But I do think mice are cute.
