Bunnies To The Rescue 2024

Regular long-time readers know this is a very special time of year for me...I always say that if you want to see a grown man turn into a squealing five-year old boy, show me bunnies. I ADORE them...

BEAUTY: Sculpture For Easter--Georgia Gerber

It's that time of the year again, when a young man's fancy turns to bunnies...and the beautiful work of sculptor Georgia Gerber beckons one to feel the amazing smoothness of her bronze rabbits.

BEAUTY: Painting For Easter--Robert Bissell

Romantic realist painter Robert Bissell creates some of the most wonderful bunny imagery I have ever seen...

My favorite image (among many favorite images) is this one below, called Caspar's Moonrise showing a pair of bunnies watching the moon rise, which is based on a painting by the Romantic German artist Caspar David Friedrich called Two Men Contemplating The Moon. 

The rest are just as charming...the bunnies have a sense of themselves that is special.

BEAUTY: Soft Sculpture For Easter--Mr. Finch

For Easter, here is the absolutely charming work of one Mr. Finch, a self-taught English soft sculpture artist who utilizes vintage fabric to realize his enchanting visions. I love how some of the bunnies have wings, or carry mushrooms, flowers and sprouting bulbs...

He sums it up beautifully on his website:

Flowers, insects and birds really fascinate me with their amazing life cycles and extraordinary nests and behaviour.
British folklore is also so beautifully rich in fabulous stories and warnings and never ceases to be at the heart of what I make.
Shape shifting witches, moon gazing hares and a smartly dressed devil ready to invite you to stray from the path.
Humanizing animals with shoes and clothes is something I’ve always done and I imagine them to come alive at night. Getting dressed and helping an elderly shoemaker or the tired housewife.

Making things has always been incredibly important to me and is often an amazing release to get it out of my system.
It’s a joy to hunt for things for my work…the lost, found and forgotten all have places in what I make.
Most of my pieces use recycled materials, not only as an ethical statement, but I believe they add more authenticity and charm.
A story sewn in, woven in.
Velvet curtains from an old hotel, a threadbare wedding dress and a vintage apron become birds and beasts, looking for new owners and adventures to have.
Storytelling creatures for people who are also a little lost, found and forgotten…

He has a SHOP on his site where you can buy his books and cards, but since he works alone, the actual soft sculptures take a while to make and sell out quickly. I will keep an eye on his shop to snag one of these lovely spirit animals.
