I made this paper mache rabbit for @Harlan as a thank you for her many kindnesses and for sending me needle felting goodies. She requested some of my folk art flowers…but I wanted to play with the theme, play more with paper mache, and I believe she likes rabbits so here we are. This is an art piece meant to be hung so it has a hanging loop on the back.
It’s a lot bigger than I originally intended, almost two feet long by one foot high. After applying paper mache and allowing the piece to dry for several days, I painted the base with watercolor ground to prime it as a watercolor surface, then finished the piece using my favorite gouache, white posca pen, and acrylic sealer.
This is so pretty! I love it. Basically a canvas shaped like a rabbit with your lovely flowers. I hope you dona series with these and different animals.
This is really special! I love the rabbit-shaped canvas for your art!

I was wondering where you got a rabbit form to paint…and now I am super impressed that you made it yourself! Fabulous project…the little flowers are spectacular.
