Today we are going to paint bunnies
But not on paper
Actual bunnies!
How sweet are these??
Inspired by Etsy and MacKenzie Childs
I started with a trip to Hobby Lobby and found 2 sweet wood bunnies and a shiny white egg
My gray bunny was $14 compared to the similar size Etsy bunny which is $74
My brown bunny with a bloom was $9 compared to MKC’s Radish Rabbit which is $98
My egg was $4.25 compared to MKC’s similar large stand alone egg at $48
White paint for the gray bunny and the brown bunny’s belly and paws
a green vest
A spring blue coat
Courtly Checked pants
For the checks, use a square flat brush and choose a start point. Make a row skipping a space after every black check. Next paint a row to the side, alternating the checks to form the black and white check pattern
Dots on his forehead and a dab of pink on his nose and toes
A checked ribbon bow tie
The brown bunny with the bloom was inspired by the MKC Radish Rabbit
He got a shiny black coat, a pretty pink and green tulip, pink cheeks and polka dot ears and a checked bow tie
This very shiny white egg is flat on the bottom so it can stand
I started with black checks down the center
I did four rows of checks on 2 opposite sides
The other sides got simple 3 stroke flowers
Load a small round {#4 or#6} brush with paint and make a short quick stroke
load brush again and make another stroke next to the first
but in a slightly different direction and repeat again for the final stroke
Practice on a sheet of paper to get the feel of it
The green stems are done with a liner brush
Load brush with paint and make a short stroke down
going from the base of the flower petals in a slight curve
and ending in a point
Reload brush and stroke up and out from the middle of the stem
Dabs of aqua were added with a small flat rectangle brush
These will be starring in an Easter tablescape soon!
Be Fearless and transform something!
