Fuzzy Bunny

A friend came over today and we got creative with acrylic paints.  It's something we both want to do more of but tend not to unless we make plans, get together, and sit down to paint together.  Funny how that works.  I guess there are just too many other things to do that distract us.

Here's what I painted today...

I'm really happy how it turned out.  I swirled on a pretty green paint for the background.  The swirls made for an interesting pattern and made it so I didn't need to do multiple coats of paint.  I love that and I love the effect!  The light green, however, makes it look Eastery or more juvenile/perfect for a kid's room.  I started out making the bunny several shades of white and just dabbing it on and swirling it a bit. I had no thought of trying to paint fur.  But, somehow, I just started painting fur and it magically worked out.  It totally transformed the look of the bunny into adorableness. I've always seen paintings of animals with fur and thought they looked realllllllly hard.  I think I've opened up my mind and the possibilities of what I might be able to do!  Wow!

Here's a closer look at that cute little face...   

Easter Bunny

My daughter may be 21 but she's still my little girl.  So, I had to give her a little something on Easter morning, like I always have.  But, this time, instead of a basket or container full of goodies, 

I gave her a skein of yarn she's been eyeing at the yarn shop for a while...with a twist.

I thought it might be cute to turn it into a bunny...

I had tucked the yarn away in hiding and forgot to turn it into a bunny until this morning.  Oops!

I quickly drew some ears, a face, and some feet and cut them out. 

I added a little pink to the ears and cheeks.

And, ended it all with a fluffy pink tail.

She loved it and can't wait to get started on the project she's been planning with this yarn.

Happy Easter!
