This little mouse loves his shiny balloon! He would make a lovely standalone ornament for your shelf or desk, and is an ideal quirky gift.

The Balloon Mouse stands about 4.5cm (1.8 inches), and with the balloon, he stands just over 6.5cm (2.6 inches) tall. He has been created entirely by hand from polymer clay, with black onxy eyes. The balloon is made from translucent polymer clay, and it is held up with a thin wire held tightly by the little mouse. The balloon is finished with gloss varnish.

This little mouse comes in a smart presentation box with a signed certificate, and will be sent by first class post within the UK. International orders are sent by airmail post, and a tracked and insured service is available for an extra charge.

Because each mouse is made entirely by hand, each one will be a little different.

The balloons are available in:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink

The mice are available in:
White, Tan, Pale Grey, Brown

I bring every wee creature to life with love, care and joy, and I so enjoy meeting each one as they appear from the clay. I spend a lot of time preparing and finishing the clay to ensure a pristine finish. I hand-blend the clay to mix colours (I don't use paints), and I also create all my own millefiori canes to achieve the perfect finish. All accessories held by the mice, like the roses and balloons, are also made with the same care and attention to detail. I use semi-precious black onyx beads for the eyes, and where necessary, I use wire armature to strengthen the paws and tail. Most wee creatures have a matt finish because I think it's more tactile, but some, like the moles and snails are finished with gloss or satin varnish to enhance the patterns and colours.

Each wee creature has its own personality, charm and character and is truly a miniature masterpiece. You can be assured that each Quernus creation is made with love and will make you smile.
