A 3D mouse peers out from a cup

The more 3D mouse was the one I made specifically with this backing fabric in mind. I felt it would be fun to have it look like there's a mouse sitting in the cup. It was made in June 2022 and I designed it myself. The flatter mouse, with arms, had been finished in May 2022 and is based on a mouse drawn by Noela Young for Beverley Randell's John: The Mouse Who Learned to Read.

The text accompanying the mice is "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11).

On the left is the text, in black thread on a white background. On the right are five rows of teacups, two of which have mice sitting in them.
