Ellen van Deelen Hi Angel, I think it was the publicist's, but I never really thought about it, you were right.....the word "rats" would have been better, thanks!

2012-07-10

angelrat was the choice to call them "extraordinary mice" yours or your publicist's? you have gorgeous rats, and a talent for showing them at their cutest. be proud that they are rats! it is how we break stereotypes that rats are nasty.

2012-07-10

Ellen van Deelen Thank you very much Birgit, appreciate it a lot!

2012-06-28

Birgit p.s. post a website link (blog link, anything where people can but images) on your author profile page !!!! xxxx

2012-06-26

Birgit Ellen! You have to google rat with teddy and contact all the places who didn't credit you with your name. I just spent 30 minutes trying to find the photographer of the mouse/rat with teddy bear. SO unbelievably cute! Etsy posted your mouse on Pinterest, but didn't seem to know who the photographer is. I'll add it in comments. People need to know where to buy the mouse/rat! The cutest things I've seen in a week - and I've been NONSTOP searching Etsy and the internet. As I'm setting up a business and am trying to familiarize myself with what's going on. TOO CUTE!! Seriously: contact a lot of the blogs that use your work, they don't mean anything bad by it, but it was a bit of work to find you. Make it easier. Get an Etsy account, too. Those cute critters could be flying off the shelf... xxx LOVELY lovely work. xxx warm greetings from a German in chilly Northern England.. Birgit xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ellen van Deelen Thank you very much HappyHippo for removing the 4 photo's!
The video came out very nice ,well done! You have to have patience indeed to photograph them, its not always easy :)
God bless , Ellen.

2010-11-04

HappyHippo Thank you very much for granting me permission to use the images. I have re-posted the video with the 4 images removed that are not yours. As a rat owner I know that they do not sit still and I have tried countless times to photograph them in profile. You must have the patience of Job. Thanks again and God Bless.

Ellen van Deelen To HappyHippo:
Thanks very much, it came out very good! Also nice music with it.
But there are 4 photo's that are not mine: The first photo with the rat and pink rabbit is not mine. The photo with title "Goodnight Vienna" is not mine . Photo with title "Everyone say Ah "is not mine either. And the photo with title "Cute or what? " is not mine .
I hope you can remove them all 4. Thanks and God bless, Ellen.

Ellen van Deelen Hello HappyHippo; First of all I wanted to thank you for ordering my book! I hope you will like it. About Youtube: that would be very nice!
Do you mean the weblink to RedBubble? There is where I have most photo's. Best regards,Ellen.

2010-11-02

HappyHippo Just ordered the book - can't wait to get it.
Would you object if I did a Youtube video featuring some stills of the
rats with instruments? I would give you the credit and weblinks to your website and book ISBN reference number etc (free publicity for you)

2010-11-02

Ellen van Deelen Hi Sunny,
Do you have a website where i can see some of your drawings/paintings? I will have to think about it.....but its a very nice idea! Thanks, Ellen.

The quality of the book is excellent and the photographs are just amazing. Many thanks Ellen for sharing your wonderful work with Froppy and his pals through this amazing book, Ben will be delighted when he opens his parcel on Christmas morning. Merry Christmas Ellen from Spain xx

Ellen van Deelen Hello Maureen, thank you so much. They are Dumbo rats, their character is more affectionate than other rats i think. They are very smart too :)

2009-11-19

Maureen Green CONGRATULATIONS - I loved the page where the little rat has a cat baby....oh boy whats there not to love, it's soooo cute. Thankyou for making me laugh. But one small question.....what kind of rat are they? They are the cutest little rats I have ever seen, one has such a human face. Looking forward to seeing your next book.

2009-11-19

KLMircea AMAZING!!!

2009-11-18

TubularBelle How you have not WON this Comp is a travesty. Yes the winners book was full of cute snapshots of her dogs, but these are professional portraits in a category all their own, unique, interesting, flawless, creative and imaginative. God Bless all the little creatures in this World, I love them all and your little furry friends are treasures to behold, what a tragedy that their little lives are so fleeting in the Grand scale of things, all the more reason to cherish every moment, and if you have such superb skill as to capture those moments in such a inspirational way, that makes you the WINNER in my book. Tracy.

2009-11-18

Tony Triolo Photography As soon as I saw the cover, I was hooked. I thought my parents had great patience posing our family dog in a number of humorous situations, but you have raised the genre to an entirely different level. A brilliant idea presented with amazing creativity and photographic skill. You definitely should have won the category. Bravo!

2009-11-18
