Have you made any arrows yet?  Tooth picks might be worth a shot get some sparrow feathers or something small for fletching.  Pretty neet though definately something to try.  Thanks for sharing!!

I have seen bows in the 14-20" ntn size nicely made up and using bamboo kabob skewers for arrows - they were sold as "office bows". For those who were office bound and could not get out to shoot. Also, have seen some nice "crib bows" for infants (no arrows).

But yours are the smallest I've seen.

When does mouse season open up in your area. I could use one of those around here, got a pesky little critter who keeps running across my livingroom floor.
