Sunday-bunny week ends on a high!

Today my real live pet bunnies are featuring as models, which they were less than impressed about!
but it definitely gave andee (my fiancee) and i a good laugh as i tried to get them to pose for the camera and he snapped away... see pics below,

Saturday craft clean up

Today was a stunning sunny day in melbourne! thank-you weather gods!! we are just hanging onto those last few threads of sunny weather!

My focus today was a super tidy up, the craft explosion has taken over the house in recent weeks...and yes i am going to share a messy snapshot below to prove that i am still human! this crafty lady may well work fulltime and be very driven but i have waned on the domestics of late...bless my fiancee and his calm nerves and fantastic cooking skills! 

Also today I realised that it was now MARCH and the christmas tree should probably come down...ha ha 

and of course another bunny creation below, I am heading to bed early tonight,,,zzzzzzz out

craft taking over the dining table/house...

my hand made christmas tree heads outside to be dismantled (every year i create a new one, this year i spray painted a dead branch silver and decorated it)

a couple of my handmade chrissy deco's get packed away for next year

craft...

1) sketch a bunny 

2)cut out strips of interesting paper

3) glue that paper onto a separate cardboard backing to the mount board you wish to attach it too

4) once the glue is dry, trace your original sketch over the top and cut it out

WALAH!

Rabbit pin cushion wristband

Tonight I have made a super cute and very practical rabbit pin cushion wrist band.
I am terrible with pins, I seem to go thru a packet of pins every week! I never put them back in their little boxes and they seem to be breeding in my carpet!!
So hence the rabbit pin cushion wrist band came to life...see below

fill with stuffing and stitch on a little face

cut out the ears and wrist band, stitch these both on the machine and bag them out

i stitched some cute striped ribbon around the base

 i attached velcro to the band to keep it on

wots of wabbies

Tonight I have used a variety of old magazines and scrap book card to cut out bunnies for a collage.
Ive seen this layout done in homewares stores but usually with butterfly cut outs.
I think it looks quite pretty, perfect for a babies room wall...

the finished product

i did initially consider putting this vintage lady pic watching over the bunnies, but i decided to leave it simple, just with the bunnies

March 1-Day 60

The rabbit theme continues...

The other day I covered a small canvas with some of the 1930's french fashion magazine and left it to dry. I didn't have plans for what would go on it next, but today's collage has worked really well on the newspaper backed canvas. As you can see below it is still wet and will still need a few more coats of varnish.

 I made sure the paper covered the edges of the canvas also

varnish

I will post more pics when the varnish layers are dry
