I have been wanting to create some pastel animals other than chicks for a while now. I would try to find matching shades of colors in roving, wool, and felt without much success as each manufacturer has its own dye colors and so I could never get them to match up. I finally gave hand dyeing wool a try! And I'm in love! Why didn't I try this sooner?!!! I really love how the the colors turned out. Much softer muted shades that are reminiscent of vintage goods. Here are a few pictures of my pink and blue Easter bunnies I recently finished! I can't wait to dye some more!

New Easter Bunnies!
I've been working on chicks so much the past few days that today I decided to switch back to bunnies! I just love bunnies, don't you?:) I created these three with an Easter theme. They are wearing their Easter bonnets which I fashioned from vintage millinery flowers. I made little dresses for them out of vintage lace trim and material. I have them standing on wool felt that sandwich a thin wood disk.

Spring Cuteness!
I got this done today and took some photos right before the sun set. I will have to take some better ones tomorrow when the light is better! I need to make a light box but have been either too busy or too lazy...)
I picture a whole group of bunnies celebrating Spring with gleeful dancing in a secret meadow...

Here is my annual Maypole Bunny Dance
Here is the Maypole Bunny Dance piece I finished this weekend. I got a lot done. (LOL, my car has been in the shop over the weekend so I was stuck home happily crafting away!) My daughter Sierra helped paint the pole. She was bored and I talked her into helping me paint some little accessories for upcoming projects.
