And Now for Something Completely Different--

Rabbit portraits. Yup. Now understand, I don't know these rabbits--they're not over here sitting for this piece, though oh-my-goodness, how I wish they were. I am, however, considering offering custom rabbit portraits, should you know any bunnies who'd be interested.

In other news, thank you so much for your brilliant two-hoop ideas. No joke, people, I love you. My short list now includes a child walking a dog (boston terrier, of course), a child with helium balloons, and some sort of tree/swing scenario, but if I live long enough, I'll do 'em all! (Why do I feel like typing mwah-ah-ah after that promise, like an evil felting genius? ;-))

You ARE an evil felting genius! Although rather lovely with it! Xxx

Sarah said...

what sweet bunnies.

hoping you will do more posts about your "minimalist" living.

Melissa Crowe said...

Sarah--I will! It's been hard b/c we've had no good light for photographs, but I'll make it work asap. Meanwhile, have you seen the blog Becoming Minimalist?

Amanda said...

What a beautiful blog! I just "stumbled upon" it and wanted to say hi! Hope you will stumble upon my blog http://monpetitshoo.blogspot.com/

Oh my, these are so adorable! I know so many people who would go nuts over these bunnies.

Melissa Crowe said...

Welcome, Amanda--and thanks, K!

beautiful! You always make me want to pull out the felt - I made a new appliqued cushion cover last week, I was so inspired by your work. I especially love the scalloped border on this ... so delicate.

I love your bunny portraits! Are you really offering custom bunny portraits? Cause I have a handsome little Dutch rabbit. :)

Dory said...

Oooh, oooh- I've got another *albeit late* two hoop idea! Little red wagon and small person pulling said wagon. And Natalie- love your two-hoop idea as well! :-)

I love their fancy Easter attire!

Do you use a certain punch for the edging? I have trouble getting my punch to make a clean enough hole.

Melissa Crowe said...

oldschool--I use a Martha Stewart screw punch. Works like a charm!

You are so creative and I love your work. I recently discovered you from Craft Gossip. I am hoping to continue to follow your blog.

OMGosh, I've been following this blog for a little while now, and literally am amazed at what you come up with. Now that you have titilated us with these goodies, are they going to be patterns soon??? ;)
Thanks for sharing!

Melissa Crowe said...

Desi--I have been toying with the idea of making patterns for some time, but I'm a newbie at the logistics of it. It's good to know there's interest, though!

Desi said...

Melissa, Oh...there is a market for great designs; I for one am always looking for the inspired and different.
Thanks again for sharing.
