My friends get to hear about my pet rats all the time and one friend lamented not being able to have a pet rat, so…ratty pillows! Enter The Art of the Illustrated Rat , where I availed myself of an embroidery pattern and was so taken with the Zatoichi Rat tattoo I decided to try and stitch it (no commercial use, just a present for a friend.)

Those are gorgeous :-)
