Wee Bunnies - A Retrospective

21 December 2010
It's been such a long time since I wrote about bunnies, that I thought it was about time for an update. Things have moved on quite a bit since I came up with my first bunny design way back in July last year - so without sparing a thought for my blushes over my early work, here is the Evolution of the Quernus Bunnies.

Bunny and Wee Bunny (b.31 August 2009)

I started playing around with bunnies in the morning, as it's been a long time since I last attempted one, and I've been wanting to have another go for a while. The large bunny measures 3cm wide and 3.5cm tall (to the tips of his ears). He works better having some paws, and has a certain cuteness to him.

Wee Bunny was a bit of fun using the clay left over from the larger bunny. As a result, he's a diminutive 2cm wide and 2.5cm to his ear tips. I didn't have beads small enough for his eyes, so these are made out of dots of black polymer clay. I will work on a range of colours of these Bunnies as I approach my first craft fair (more news on that shortly!)

Wee Bunny (b.29 July 2009)

The bunny is very much a work in progress. I'm pleased with the teeth, and the ears are definitely rabbit-like.

But unless you see the bobtail at the back, this could be a disembodied head, which is not the look I'm going for! My next plan is to reduce the scale of the facial features quite a bit, and perhaps have the ears going backwards, lying flat against the body.
