Sunday's Update

I will be listing my Uncle Sam saw dust dolls on ebay today. They are the perfect Americana bowl fillers for the primitive patriotic collector.

I will also be re listing the Mama Bunny and her babies. I was a little surprised she didn't sell the first time out, but sometimes that happens. She is so cute in person, the pictures really don't do her justice.

All of my other bunnies and the little duck have the primer coat of paint on them and are drying as I type this.

I hope to have a productive week in the creativity department.

I forgot to mention the other day, the Roller Bunny Pull Toy has found a new home in Illinois where he is loved very much and will be well cared for, I am sure.

Victorian Bunny - A Primitive Bunny Doll

This little bunny is a cutie - he was inspired by the bunny toys that were available during the Victorian era, He is about 11 3/4" tall, including his ears, his feet are a bit smaller than most modern bunnies.

He started off as just a piece of muslin cloth. I made a pattern and cut him out, sewed him up, needle sculpted his face and brought him to life with a bit of paint.

He was painted in layers and sanded between each layer, This gives him a softer almost leather like feel. His tummy and tail are antique white.

I chose darker brown colors for this little bunny, and jointed him with antiqued brass colored metal buttons.

He has a very old fashioned air about him, he carries a little basket that I crocheted out of hemp. I had thought of making him a back pack basket, but he is so small that I think the little hemp basket fits him perfectly.

This bunny is for sale on eBay, the auction end Sunday February the 24th.
Here is a link if you would like to see him there:
