Making Time

I finished this guy as we were watching Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit. perfect timing, and it had nothing to do with Easter, as I started this in February. April is my ‘finish what I started’ month. The month of May might be my ‘finish what i started month’ too!

He moves so nice. His head flops like a baby (or a drunk, depending on how you look at it) and his arms are heavy and floppy too. As soon as I had put on the final leg, I spontaneously scooped him up, hugged him and kissed him. I paused and shook my head thinking: “that was weird”… i had a surrealistic moment of “why do humans make images of animals and figures to hold? why do we make images of the universe?” Later on, I kept on putting him in the boyfriend’s arms. I liked to see him holding the bunny (started having domestic fantasies).

oh this rabbit is so lovely. he’s so ANIMATED. you pick him up and he’s moving all over the place. he’s of a nice heavy thick wool, and has a super soft mohair bunny tail. i’m trying to find the right color rose wool felt to line his ears with! I want his inner ears to match his nose.

He has a great shape, which I am proud of since it was so hard. There was alot of frogging on this one (rip it, rip it, rip it!). I took some photos along the way.
