Mouse with cheese charm by Terry Chance

This quirky little mouse was handmade using the copper foil technique. Glass is scored and cut, edges are ground and then wrapped in copper foil. Wire work is added to create the mouse’s expression, its whiskers, and the curled tail and tiny feet that allow it to stand upright. Following this, both wire and foil are soldered with a mix of lead and tin. The mouse is then given a thorough polish and adorned with a cheese charm.

Dimensions, including wirework, approximately 10x5.5x2.5cm.

All mice are made using opaque streaky turquoise glass.

As a handmade original each mouse is unique, slight variations are to be expected.
