Cottage White Shabby Sweet Bunny!

I have listed another cottage white piece! This one is a little bunny with a hand dyed silk ruffle around her/his neck. The ears are accented with a vintage style print.

Even if you don't have a cottage white style house, touches of it here and there can be quite charming. I think it's a very cheerful look and it takes us back to simpler times. In fact, I'm working on replacing all of my towels and sheets with white. I am a 50s child, so it is a very nostalgic look for me.

Tip:
I used wire armatures in the ears and the tail for this piece. Even simple pieces benefit from armatures.

new website look!

I have been reworking my website. It is now lighter and brighter. I hope you like it! I created a new banner (the photo above).

Also, I am creating a separate sister site for my jewelry so that it is not mixed in with my dolls. I felt that offering both art forms under one roof was too confusing for my customers.

After 8 months of healing from the 8 spinal fusions I had last May, I am finally ready to buckle down and concentrate on my work. I am going to be honest and tell you that the tremor in my left hand from PD has been considerably worse since my spine surgery, but I'm hoping medication changes will help. I see the neurologist tomorrow.
Whatever, I never give up on hope for a permanent cure.

It's a new day! Let's sculpt!

a cottage bunny

I have listed another shabby sweetie on Ebay. It's a shy little OOAK cottage bunny! I used printed paper to accent the ears and I made a simple little fan out of a page from an old school book to send with him for display.....just because I thought it would be cute! Here is the link to my bunny auction:

I have this baby in a bunny suit up for sale on my website for only $59. That is a great price for a doll that is one of a kind. Her face will never be repeated because I never use molds.
If you would rather buy her from my blog, please write me at am803@aol.com. I have her set up on the website for paypal, but other payment methods are not out of the question.
About her:
She is 4 inches high to the tip of her bunny ears. She has hand painted eyes which were glossed for realism. I sprinkled a light layer of fairy dust on her because I simply love sparkles! She has detailed bunny feet pads. Her face was painted with fine acrylics and Genesis heat set paints, then sealed.
She is eagerly waiting to help you celebrate spring at your house!

Here is my work in progress, a baby in a bunny suit! I still have to refine, paint, and detail her. Wait until you see how much personality will come from the eyes!
The ears have a wire armature for extra strength. I really hate working with armatures, but every sculptor has to learn this discipline.
No she doesn't have her own ears showing because they will be "under" the bunny hat part of her costume. You'll see.
Watch for photos of the finished bunny. Coming soon!
