Molly Cottontail

The inspiration for this rabbit

came from an Easter card

I found at

The Graphics Fairy.

I loved the idea of a grey bunny

with a pink gingham dress.

I love the hat

and the pink striped socks

and little black shoes.

Now, Molly here is a toddler bunny,

and mine are a little older than that

so I made the dress

more suitable for a big girl.

First,

painting the body grey.

This gristly image

is the body drying outside

between sandings.

After being painted and sanded

I glued on the head

and shoulder plate.

I know.

Awkward!

A lined and fitted bodice.

A full skirt.

Little white collar.

Tucks along the hem.

And the dress is finished!

 It has a wide sash

at the back,

and white daisies

on the collar and cuffs.

And it's perfect

for playing dolls,

on long Summer days

in the meadow.
