Ceramics is not my best subject.
After making my original Two Headed Mouse Teapot, I decided I needed to make a better version.
I'm much better at crocheting.
So, I decided to crochet one.
I didn't have any pattern in mind. I just started to crochet in a ring, working out a basic teapot shape. The whole process consisted of a lot of ripping out stitches and redoing things.
And I ended up with this
I used wool for the teapot and I lightly felted it. I imagine if I could fill it with water, it would pour nicely.
I redesigned the actual mouse. I wasn't happy with the way the pattern was written. So, I completely changed the body and head. I separated the body from the head, and redesigned the shape.
It was much the same process as the teapot. I just started crocheting. I didn't write down a pattern.
I used fun fur and cotton yarn for the body. (If I ever re-do it, I think I'll forget the fun fur.)
Next up: Make matching teacups and saucers.
