Hickory Dickory Clock

I wasn't planning to show this just yet but after a hectic week at work followed by a weekend away in London I've suddenly realised its time for Handmade Monday and I have nothing finished to show! Whoops!
I don't know where the days disappear to.

So a few weeks ago I showed you a plaque I'd made with a little mouse on it:
Well I've fallen in love with little mice and i'm beginning to think they may become my 'thing'. I wanted to include them in something else so I created the Hickory Dickory Clock!
I'm thinking off adding a lump of cheese to the centre or giving it a darker background as I think it needs something extra. Any suggestions?
I've also discovered (finally) how to make a collage. Being the technical dunce that I am I have to say that is quite an achievement, so heres a 'collage of close-ups' of my mousey little friends
I have some other nursery rhyme theme clocks that are half finished (and some which are still at the paper design stage) so they will be making an appearance in time.
Make sure you go visit Wendy over at Handmade Monday to see what everyone else has been up to and if I remember correctly Bath Bomb Creations will be having a linky party from 1st February (Wednesday) with an animal theme. My mice may be small but I think they qualify so i'll be adding this post over there too.
Before I go I have noticed a few extra followers this week so hello to you and thank you so much for following, your support is really appreciated.
Until next time,
Jem

    Love the mouse by the number 6 - looks like the 6 is made of cheese!

    He's a sweet little mouse. It's great that you managed to do a collage of photo's, it now means you can show lots of things in a relatively small space.

    The little mice are so cute! Its something you can add to lots of things for either male/female gifts. (The collage is good - I must learn that too!) Mich x

    Those mice are so sweet. For the clock, if you want something extra, perhaps put a piece of cheese at each number which you haven't painted, (e.g at 1,2,4,5,etc).

    Aaaah, such a lovely clock and the mice are really gorgeous. Definitely add some cheese for them, don't want them to get hungry. Hope you have a good week.

    Lovely mice!!!

    Can you add a piece of cheese onto the ends of the hands? so the cheese gets passed around from mouse to mouse?!x
