About 9 years ago, our family became that place out in the country for a small group of town rabbits.Their human had turned his backyard into a virtual rabbit haven, however the landlord was not impressed. Our barn become their new haven with long wooden bunny apartments crafted by my husband and sons. Soon thereafter, we were surprised that one of the females gave birth. Unfortnately, she had built no nest and carelessly deposited them in her half full water dish.
Sadly, after several died, I attempted a rescue.And that was when my love affair with rabbits began.
Three of the babies moved into our farm houseand continue to live with us as one.(Toot is now gone after 8 lovely years)Naturally, there are rabbits hopping all through my thoughts. It was bound to happen that Bootsie, my constant rabbit companion,would inspire a companion set.
She is featured on my current auction, along with a child who fancies herself a rabbit, and a whimsical interpretation of a faerie bunny.I had way way too much fun creating this set, as you can imagine...
So, I fondly bid you adieu for now ...but if you click the picture above,I will meet you at Lizette and Milicent's auction. It is always a joy to see you here and there! love, Rose

Your creations are so wonderful they hurt and even bring a tear to my eye. But, of course, I keep coming back for more. Thanks for sharing your world with us.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Rose, milicent is so whimsical, a true Hunny bunny!She looks as though she popped right out of a childrens story book, hand in hand with Lizette! Your artistry never ceaces to amaze me! I am always so excited to see every detail of your beautiful enchanted works of art! I too love rabbits! When I was a child, we had rabbits on our farm, I seemed to gravitate to them more than my siblings. I think they were afraid they would have to clean the cages, but I really didn't mind most of the time, the rabbits seemed to love me back! Thank you for sharing this wonderful dou with us, as always, you inspire me! Love, Christel

Hello to you, Anna, Michele and Melissa!!! Thank You for appreciating this Rabbit Child's costuming.

I await with great joy, the arrival of Angi's new baby.. Much love to you and family.

Penny
Rose, this is extremely enchanting...you are gifted in storytelling as well and you possess a magic that is soooooo unique! I so love the work of Patricia, Penny and Christel...and your work as well. I so admire all of you and each one of you is as distinct of an artist as you are individual souls of the Lord. Thank you for visiting my fairytale world and how lovely that we can all express our DREAMS in such various ways.
ReplyDeleteBless you Rose and please come on by when you wish! Anita

Greetings dear Anna, Christel, Luna, Anita, Penny, Karri and Cindy! If only you could know how much I value your opinions and visits (and reread your comments many times over). Thank you!!! Lately, I have been up to my eyeballs in music lessons, travels, preparing for our summer garden and a new grandbaby coming. But once the house is quiet, and right before I turn out the last lamplight, I peek into your studios to see what beauty I might find there. Often my mind and my computer are in the shut down mode and words come slowly, but my heart reaches out to you all. I hope you know that...I SO appreciate your friendships...much love, Rose
ReplyDeleteOh, and Chomi, your miniature menu is tantalizing...ummm...to those who like boiled eyeballs! Thank you for your kind words...love, Rose
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, padding round your beautiful creations, watch this rabbit, inspired by your bunny and I take my hat off to your talent and sensitivity to create the color combination, let alone their faces so angelic! thanks for that at least enjoy watching. Rose Marie blessings
