Car gets a paintjob and is renamed "Smurf"

Here are some pictures of my baby mice, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, when they were just changing from fuzzies to hoppers:

They're just about grown now.

Here are some pictures of the Smurf Car. It was supposed to be a much darker, metallic blue with more green in it. Not smurf blue. Computer color being what it is does not pick up cobalt blue very well - and turns it into smurf blue - but that's not all the computer's fault in this case...

I think a third (and maybe a fourth) coat of something darker is definitely in its future...

Here are some pictures of Lyra:

Some of these (the car ones, in particular) are not working for me.

"Not working" is one way of putting it... "Where do I hide this thing until I can fix it" would be another. I plan to rent a sprayer and buy a couple of gallons of black or very dark blue and redo it. The color indicated on the cans I bought was much darker than it turned out, so whatever I get will have to be almost black.

Heh... what I meant was, the photos are not showing up for me when I click the links....

Hm weird. They're all working from here, so not sure what's wrong.
Maybe that particular shade of blue doesn't register on most Terran computers...

You called them that because they're destined to be serpent fodder, didn't you?

It depends upon whether or not they continue to amuse me... Rosencrantz has a better survival rating, because she likes to be picked up and petted, she doesn't stink, she has longish, satiny fur, and she made friends with gremliness who would be most disappointed if her friend Rosie came to an ignoble end. Since a Rosencrantz without a Guildenstern is kind of lopsided, I've kept him also. This would change on a mere whim, since they're still mice and therefore little squeaking prey animals by design, except that rialian thinks that would be hideous and stuff.

Forgive me if I sound weird...

But Lyra feels very...feline-ish. ;)

[helen99.livejournal.com]

I agree! An entirely different feel from Car...
How have you been?

[jolantru.livejournal.com]

I have been okay. Getting by. ;)

(And Lyra feels very feline... you know, like a panther...)
