Seven LIttle Rabbits

The other day I found this book in a box of old books that was going to be thrown out. I flipped through it and really liked the illustrations which prompted me to look at the illustrator and I was happy to find out it was Barbara Cooney. She wrote and also illustrated one of my favorite children's books, "Miss Rumphius". The true story of a lady in Maine who spent her whole life casting lupine seeds about and making the world a more beautiful place, which we all could use! It's a beautiful story and one that I never get tired of reading to the children.

Anyway..........getting back to the book, "Seven Little Rabbits".........the illustrations are so sweet of the tiny rabbits all dressed up and walking down the road, I knew I just had to use them in my pendants. Below are some of the mini collages made with the illustrations. They have not been soldered around the edges yet.

It's Spring.....Oh really!?!?!?!

The calendar says it's officially spring, however I'm not so sure! Today it alternated between what can best be described as "chunky gobs of rain" and snow flakes. So what can be done to chase away winter and cheer on the arrival of spring? If in doubt......I say.....decorate! I have a pencil tree that I keep up in my house year around and I decorate it seasonally and for holidays. Now, I do have friends who think it's crazy to do this but it makes me happy! I finished decorating it for spring tonight. The majority of the ornaments I made last year. Does anybody else out there in blogland have a tree they decorate seasonally?

Paperclay + Styrofoam = Spring Bunny


Ohhhhhhh the snow is melting and I think I caught a wiff of "spring" today.....you know the smell? It was ever so fleeting but it was that fresh smell of nature coming awake after a long winters' nap. I was inspired! Inspired by the Polkadot Pixie's paperclay creations and inspired by that "wiff of spring". So I broke out the paperclay, styrofoam, acrylic paint and hand creme....wow does that paperclay dry your hands out! May I introduce you to Sherman the Spring Bunny...........I dig those slippers! Sherman likes them too!

Sherman is wearing a tissue paper collar with paper flowers and glitter.
