Well ,on another one of my 'Coffee breaks' so checking my e-mail and blog.. and waiting for the mailman...have packages for him to pick up..
Isn't this interesting ..a perfect cup o' coffee every time!
Last year I bought this 'BASKETCASE plaster Dolly' on eBay.. well ,she was cheap and had potential.. re-glued her and painted her up, added a fine crackle glaze and antiqued her.. and that was as far as I went..Then last night... the inspiration fairy said 'get to work girl'! I had to finish her and this is what I did so far..
Had to do another QUICKIE altered picture ,as this was kinda fuzzy.. so now I like it!
Well, she now is a Fuzzy coated Bunny Bebe, had some pale gold sparse mohair scraps, some pale pink ribbon [from the Easter Swap] that perfectly matches my pastel pink vintage crepe paper! Was up til 4 am sewing and finding all sorts of fun stuff ! Also.. semi-cleaning my work room in small doses..
Found her a papier mache lolllipop, think the base will be covered in Martha Stewart 'pink glitter', had silver but will change that.. so she is semi done.. Ha!
A side view she's a tubby, but so darn cute.. do I use that word way too much ??? 'CUTE'?!
I put that lovely aqua blue ribbon from the Easter swap to use on my Bunny Girl.. She is made by Bethany Lowe Co. of one of my designs.. They did a great job, but I wanted to play.. and I do have 2! so... This is the altered one.. the painting was perfect so all I did was change out the ruffle and added collard and ribbons and tiny hats from old paper.. she will be for 'SALE" signed and dated on my website.. http://www.hophopjingleboo.com/
I'm so happy and honored to with the Bethany Lowe Company..' All of their Collections' in the catalogs is so pretty and get more amazing with each new catalog!! http://www.bethanylowe.com/ Thank you Bethany!

As dark and cynical as I am, you have to use the word cute in regard to spring and easter. I think it is a law.
ReplyDeleteThe doll is adorable, I am amazed at how you reloved her. And I love that bunny with the dress hoop. Never seen anything like that, but love it!
