The other day I was trying to get my design files organised (no small job, believe me!) when I came across these rabbits. I did them some time ago, but I don’t think I’ve posted them yet. They were inspired by a sandy slope near the village of Towie, not far from here, which is simply heaving with rabbit holes and rabbits.

I did this one at a time when I was still depending on simple overstitching of applique to give a furry appearance to animals, and although it isn’t bad, it’s not nearly as effective as the rough “scribbling” of hair that I’ve used on things like the Hare in the Moon (see post of 26 January this year) When I get a minute, I think I’ll re-do this using the new technique – it should be a lot better that way
Awe! I love the rabbits!
Very cute! I love the detail in their coats and their shapes are very realistic! Nicely done.
Mia, I love how you have the rabbits in different poses. It makes the rabbits so much more realistic.
Great rabbits–am looking forward how you “upgrade” them as they seem perfect now. How’s your work going with getting ready for show?
Love your bunns and all their poses. The painted fabric really adds to their dimension. Thanks for sharing.
