When I was around 12 years old, my dad brought home to me a 4 ft tall flocked, styrofoam rabbit....dressed in crinoline full skirts, with a huge parasol. It was wonderful and charming and whimsical. When I first started doing art work, Rabbits were what I created.
Rabbit Princes, in all shapes and sizes....1, 2, 4, 5 ft tall.
The above rabbit was a soft sculpture...painted and costumed.
A four ft tall Rabbit Prince....with lots of antique fabrics and nature's bounty.
A Rabbit embellished with mosaic shards and sea shells....
I called this piece.."Wonderland Lies Within". It was created using a gourd, cut so that you could lift the torso off, and find Alice standing within.
So now...as I work to find my rhythm and momentum again, another rabbit is showing up.
The name that comes to me for this piece is "Abundance". :)
Sculpted from polymer clay and apoxie sculpt, I used a conch shell for her body, and a smaller conch shell to hold the abundance of babies on her back. I covered her with French printed papers, and added a crackle glaze. Today....hmmm...embellishment begins. :)

Love your rabbits. Will you ever offer your rabbit on-line class again? This was on Adele's site a year or so ago. But I would love to take it anywhere you offer it. Thanks for sharing your creations.
Thanks for asking, Ruthanne :)
I'll let you know if I ever decide to do it again.
Happy Creating to you!
