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.

OOAK fairy baby WIP


While I have been working on my baby bunny, I have also been working on this baby fairy (I make use of the time that I have one curing in the oven). Here is my baby fairy, which I think I will finish with a Victorian look. I know she looks pretty shocking without arms, but I will "transplant" her forearms and hands tomorrow. If you want to see how I sculpt hands, go to my hand tutorial here on my blog. I sculpt each finger individually. Cutting them into the hand just doesn't work for me, so I figured out my own technique.
You can also look at my thread showing you my technique for sculpting OOAK faces.
Happy collecting!

Bunnies made using my tutorial



Think you can't make a bunny for this spring? Look at the ones these Arizona ladies made using my tutorial. I am so proud of them!
