shamrockgirl18 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 So I've had this little red and white mouse for a couple years, and I thought he was cute. Then yesterday I bought the mouse with the glasses on clearance. They were both ornaments, but I think they are too cute to spend 11 months packed away in the basement, so I'm thinking of making a little house for them. They are a similar size, but their faces are different 'styles'. . .and I'm not sure if I like it yet. . .would it look strange to have 2 mice with such different faces next to each other in the same space? The little mouse with the glasses is holding a wine cork (it's glued pretty good, otherwise I'd remove it) so maybe it should a be wine theme- with the mice sharing a bottle? Should the bottle be a real-life sized one, to match the cork she has in her hands? Like, should it be mice with a house/furniture their own size, or should it be mice that exist in a regular human-size space? I can't decide. Right now I'm still brainstorming so I thought I'd ask you all for your input and ideas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 They're both white mice & a similar size. What about putting them in different rooms of the house? Then the difference between noses (not that big a deal, IMO) wouldn't be so noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it strange to see me with my blue-eyed pink face next to Lloyd's brown-eyed African American face in the same place? I'm all for diversity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for diversity. It's just the shape of their faces- one looks a little more realistic I guess, while the other one looks 'cartoonish' by comparison. I've mixed scales before, but I don't think I've ever mixed artistic styles in a single dh/scene, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

NellBell Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 What about a scene in a wine bottle , well maybe a wine bottle you make . Not sure how to make the wine bottle choses are thoughts to ponder . Maybe a paper clay bottle put the clay over a real bottle one of the bigger fatter style ones and leave a large opening for the scene . it would be kinda CORKY ( remember the bag that was posted in the las week ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenrodfarm Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I see what you mean by the differences, one is realistic to a degree with a nose and mouth but they are both exaggerated , but rather then cartoonish I think the other one actually has a nose that looks like most mice I have seen up close. You may shoot me for this suggestion, but how about a third mouse that is about half way between the two! I know this one is way out of your budget probably because John Wright sells his mice for hundreds of dollars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could be sitting in a cozy chair, with a pile of books to read and a plate of cheese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLPMagic13 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I love the idea of a mouse house! I see what you mean about concern mixing realism aesthetics - that can blow a scene if not done right BUT with animals they are way mor forgiving then human figures/dolls. It could be cute either scale but their own size has a charm, but being in the human scale has its own neatnes. Not too helpful, sorry! But I think you should do it! Could you post pics of the lucky mice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLPMagic13 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Looking at the pics to me they work together fine. The one in the red PJs screams overstuffed armchair and coziness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
