sewing saturday

I’m saying a quick hello to show you what I’ve been up to today. Sewing tiny bunnies. The love for all things tiny continues on over here. And the weather was so nice, I sewed outside. Those of you that sew know this already I’m sure, but crafting with your hands either sewing, or knitting, crocheting, embroidering, all of which I’ve done over the years, can be so relaxing. It requires a different kind of creative focus that for me is a nice change from painting. Yet, I will say that when I sew the eyes, aka, the personality on to these little guys, I get the same thrill as when I paint on the eyes in a painting. Each time I put a face on one of these characters, that’s when they come to life, their individuality emerges and it fascinates me how different they are each time. Anyway, if I can part with these tiny bunnies, I may be listing them for the first time for sale in the ol' Etsy shop. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

hope you’re having a lovely weekend!

love the contrast stitching.
i agree when the eyes go on, they totally give me a little thrill.
Marisa,
These little bunnies are so adorable. You seem to have many talents and it's so fun to see what they are.
Thanks so much for sharing and I look forward to seeing if they go on Etsy.
Have fun creating.
Hugs,

These are so charming, I love your paintings too!
Oh gosh, those are too adorable! I am in awe of your talents and creativity, but also a little inspired to try and set time aside in my day to craft (maybe when the little one is in preschool...).

You HAVE to part with some of them, don't you know what bunnies do best? :P
I love these! It's awesome to see your characters in all media! paintings, clay and softies! :)
These are precious, Marisa. And, you probably can guess that all I want to do is sew little outfits for them.

xxoo
