The Pink Hare

playing with tin

Just a quick shot of something i worked on this week. i'm thinking about doing a series of them for the eventual opening of the new shop .

more teeny tiny things

I seem to have worked out the problem. ...

ok here's the counter in "action mode
The whole thing was made from pieces of thin pine wood,a piece of wood filigree trim and a scrap of plastic from a package .I used the plastic as the glass !

 I'm sure I'll think of something,

Here's my first day's progress with the rug

 As you can see it's a wee bit more complicated then the last one  and here's a shot from this morning {day 4} I'm staring to do all of the stems for the flowers . Next I do the flowers !
