Rat Babies













OK so Tony and I ended up adopting 3 adorable ratties. We wanted 2 but there were 3 left from a litter and we couldn't leave the lone girl behind! She's so cute! So we may get a 4th rat- another girl- to keep her company while we separate the sexes (at least until the boys are old enough to snip-snip. LOL. We don't want any pregnancies.)

Pictured above are Nezumi (F), Sulu (M) and Kato (M).


But meanwhile, there are lots more ratties that need adopting. If anyone wants pet rats (or mice actually- there are some mice in need as well), please go to these sites for more info:


They have foster homes in Canada, Wa and Or.

Rats make great pets!! But you have to be sure that you want these rescues- they deserve forever homes, not to be dumped yet again by someone who can't take care of them.

PLEASE CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Latest Art Projects

I recently finished my first "Icicle Doll" ala Belinda Schneider for the AlteredArtObsession group I'm in. I chose to do a Pin Up Girl ala the 1950s.






I used leather-type fabric, red feather boa, fuzzy leapard print, and black mesh materials, plus an old pin up/pulp cover image, and some red gems. It was a lot of fun considering I'm a complete rube when it comes to sewing (I'm fabric-challenged).
















I also finished the covers and my Agoraphobia page for the Phobia Fatbook I was hosting for the BadBabies group.




























And I finished working on the last of the RR journals for the WashingtonAB group!


The theme for this last book was "Birds of a Feather".
































Some of the past journals have included Love
