Want to help with a little experiment? The last ti Want to help with a little experiment? The last time we shared these gorgeous mice they were VERY POPULAR. Like, 500,000+ views very quickly levels of popular. Which was nice, but surprising. So we’re curious. Is it the mice? Can they do that again just ‘cos they’re super cute? Or was it a weird blip in the algorithm that will never be repeated? Here’s how you can help - if it’s the mice, give us like, maybe tell us the magical secrets of mice/algorithms in the comments. You’ll be helping to raise awareness of our parade crowdfunder and get a lovely warm glow of community support. We’re a not-for-profit organisation making art like these mice with communities. Our local parade, the Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade is happening on 22 June and we’re always short of funds. Bonus warm fuzzy feelings coming your way if you’re also able to donate - a quick click from the link in our bio will earn you lifelong gratitude from the dancing mice. THANK YOU!❤️
Further development of our new Curlew puppets. We’re completely blown away by the quality of work being produced by our creative volunteer team. The batik wings are totally gorgeous. See them in flight on Sun 22 June as part of the Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade.
Oh yeah. Check us out, doing the casual workshop s Oh yeah. Check us out, doing the casual workshop style thing. You know the parade deadline is fast approaching when the artistic team start thinking about our own parade costumes. @kneadnaan is gonna be OUTSTANDING - he’s only just started stilt-walking and clearly has plans for world domination. You don’t want to miss seeing this IRL on Sunday 22 June. Total treat for the eyes😍
