A BROTHER for the Button Mouse, sitting in an eggcup, playing the concertina ... and why not indeed!

About Me
- Rima
- Nomadic, United Kingdom
- Rima's curiosity leads her through the many worlds of words, languages and lettering, books and stories, puppetry, nature and interesting people, music, superstitions, folklore and fairytales, and most of all the otherness that can be found on the periphery of our lives, the strange and grotesque, the absurd and unnerving ... that topsy turvy in between place where things are not quite what they seem...
Her days are spent in a house on wheels with Tui, her man, best friend and fellow traveller and he weaves beautiful sounds to make beautiful music.
Rima writes tales of their days and thoughts of her stories and songs of her paintings here on this blog for you to smile at.

12 words from others:
This is magical... coming from a family that is very attached to its egg cups and soft boiled eggs... AND mice, who are so endearing, especially when drawn by you.
What a beautiful drawing! I love the shape of the nose and the twirly whirley tail!x
He is adorable, Rima! And I love the name you chose for this piece!
Happy Friday to you! :)
A mischievous sort of balance ...
What sort of songs does a mouse play?
Hi, Rima. Can't find your e-mail address. This article, in today's New York Times, made me think of you. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/12/garden/12puzzle.html?em&ex=1213502400&en=b1e5aa8580f5cc5f&ei=5087%0A
I can imagine you being involved in a project like this one. :)
I don't think the link printed too well. Go to www.nytimes.com and the article is titled Mystery on Fifth Avenue, in the Home & Garden section.
Love the drawing! He looks as if he's planning while he's playing!
Love your little mouse! Thanks for adding my site to your roll, I have done likewise. I look forward to my next visit. I was interested to read about your animation. I did a night class recently where we did an animated banner on Photoshop. Until then I did not know animation was possible on this software. It's all too much for my small brain to take in! So much to learn.
what a sweet little one...the eggcup grow the effect:))!!Concertina..ok,he is an italian lover:))??I really like it!
One of my favorite Rima drawing so far.
Love this drawing!!! Completely magical!
