Well well … a master of ChiBall. I wonder if he decrees that his subjects will need to know their meridians. He looks a very wise mouse. Beautifully done!
penspapers replied
I had a feeling you would relate to him…must also be because of the Stanton thing ;-)
Thanks so much!

penspapers replied
Thank you, Kaitlin. I can’t wait to see what he looks like.
I LOVE your work!

Your little King is carrying the Winter ChiBall which is deep blue and has the aroma of juniper berries. He would be telling his subjects to rest and restore their Chi energy.

Yes, mice somehow always seem to translate to “whimsy” for me!
Thanks!
