The idea for a picture book came during Christmas when she was making mouse photos for Christmas cards.
The mice are stuffed with cotton, and are sewn and glued together.
The eyes are black glass beads, and their paws are made of paper.
The last task is sewing on the nylon thread whiskers.
Each mouse can take several hours to make.
For the stage she uses rigid foam insulation board for the ground.
For interiors she uses cigar boxes and book covers for walls and floors.
