Completed January 10, 2014, after many adventures learning to felt with the needle in the left hand. You wouldn’t think that’d be hard for someone who writes left-handed, but you’d be wrong.... The felting needles always seemed to work best right-handed, and they still do, even though a bout of RSI last year forced a search for new techniques.

Anyway, here they are at last! From left to right: Jetstream, Wigeon, Bertha, Moll, Harry, and Scooter Mouse. They’ve all found homes of their own, but you can write to the Salamander to discuss construction of Your Perfect Mouse if none of the others currently in the menagerie squeak to you.
