Back after so long.


Yes, it's been far too long. I'm absolutely awful at keeping up. Have noticed that there are a couple of followers. Thanks, although, is it just because I'm from Martock?
I have been a busy, busy bee. Many mice have left the premises. All my customers are happy, don't know whether that's got anything to do with Rex the Mouse. Let's just believe it is all to do with Rex.
It's Valentines Day, yippee or not. You can't please all the people all the time.
Have been making many romantic rodents for the 30 or so galleries and shops that stock my sculptures. Also trying to tempt a few more outlets to sell Rex the Mouse.
Made a fantastic chess set before Christmas for Touch of Glass in Yeovil. Cats v's Dogs with mice as the pawns. Most is made from recycled steel. It's in their window, looking great. WOW, managed to upload a photo. If you're passing, go and have a look. They have quite a few pieces of mine.
Hoping to be at Glastonbury again(will be the 3rd year in a row, near the Jazz Lounge) selling Rex and the rest. Last year was entertaining, luckily very little photographic evidence to go with it. Have to sell a few more mice to raise the required sums of money.
Here's a special Valentines image for you!
Looking forward to seeing some more knitted hexagons, if I have time , will try and look out for some blogs of interest! Cheers, Chris

The Mad Ratter. Somewhere in the middle.

Well hello there. This could be a step too far but I've been told to get on with it...
I'm a sculptor (who can't type) based in Somerset and I spend a lot of time welding mice! It's not what I intended to do, but they've kind of taken over my life.

I'm not sure how this blog thing will go either. You're all welcome to add whatever comments you like and we'll see what direction we head. I'm expecting to give you a few interesting tails in-between the daily runnings of Rex The Mouse. As usual, it's a bit late and I'm off on a sales trip tomorrow so I'll say very little more. Off to Devon and Cornwall to find some new gift shops and galleries to take my work.

You know it's not really a great idea to see a picture of me.......well, maybe later. An image of Rex would be much more appealing...

I'll try to add a photo...unknown territory! Well, what a surprise, it actually worked. This isn't a very recent sculpture, as I was looking for an image he just stood out and I couldn't resist. He's a typical Rex though, cute but a little disturbed. He sells for £15, which I think is a bargain. I've been told I can link my website to the blog but don't know how so I'll add an address : www.rexmouse.com

Guess that's enough for now, Chris Kampf
