THE MOUSE...
I created the piece by painting the Indian Goddess Lakshmi onto the mouse. I thought Lakshmi would be appropriate to the event, as she is called upon to bring wealth and good fortune, as is indicated by the coins falling from her hands and the lotus. I installed her into bejeweled lotus flowers and leaves.
