Meet Bubba. I'm not sure about the name but just look at that lovely little face. He is not able to be re-homed but is very well looked after by the Dogs' Trust.
This is the cover for the Hare book. I might try to improve it as the soldering iron hasn't scorched the fabric enough around the edges, and I'd like a bit more definition on the motif itself. To fiddle, or not to fiddle? That is the question.
I think this is my favourite page as it reminds me of the leveret we, or rather our labrador, discovered in the paddock behind a house we lived in years ago. Fortunately the dog was a great softy and just stood looking at the leveret wagging his tail. I was thrilled to think we had hares breeding in our little field.
I'm quiet pleased with this page and drew it in pen on the reverse of a printed fabric. Much easier to work on than the silk pages previously shown.
After all my technical struggles I am now going to recline in my reclining chair with a cuppa.

Every page is a work of art Heather.
I love the cover page and the page with the butterflies is so pretty. They are all just beautiful. Thank you for sharing the picture of Bubba too. He looks like a happy little guy!
The cover! What are the hares made from? Love it. Oh, that sweet pup :)
I cut out the shape of the three hares from heavy vilene and glued it in place. It was coloured with Inktense block aided with a little water to distribute the colour more evenly.
