New Rabbit at The Red Geranium

38" tall Chef Hase is now at The Red Geranium Framing & Gifts in Mauston Wisconsin.

I created him from a wool cape I found in a thrift store. After a good laundering, it had great texture and just made me think RABBIT. If you wonder about his name, it's the German word for rabbit. I'm sure you've heard of hassenpfeffer which is rabbit stew. This chef isn't in the stew, he's making it!

His hat and coat are entirely authentic and he has his wire whisk ready to use!

You can find a pattern to make a chef like this from muslin (or do what I did and use wool or even flannel or felt) on my website Lucy's Lazy Dayz Primitives. There's also a finished black wool rabbit that looks like him.

Finally getting back to work

After a month off, I'm finally getting back to work on my website and markets. The image you see is Gilbert Gourd, a 26" soft sculpture pumpkin man. His head feels nearly as firm as a real gourd (I love the misshaped small gourds).
I've listed Gilbert at THE PRIM NEST.
For all of you who've been wondering, the show in Illinois was some of the most fun I ever had. I haven't even got all the photos cropped yet. I'm writing about it for Rusty Tin Roof and will let you know (and post a link) when it's ready. There WILL be photos in the article and I'll post photos here.
I'm slowly adding items to my website--emphasis on slowly. It's that time of year when I'm so very busy with orders so everything else is slower.
Another announcement. I no longer sell my handmade creations at the Tomah Antique Mall/ Cranberry Mall/
I still sell items at The Red Geranium Framing & Gifts, 800 McEvoy St,  Mauston, WI and it has move into the most fabulous log home with  parking right in front. It's an amazing shop...not at all what you'd expect.
