Bunnies... "Ce matin, un lapin...."

My exploration of "wearable plush" (which I'd define as mini 3D plush brooches and necklaces) is taking me to venture into full on brooch making, using the vintage material I continuously get from my family back in France.


I have an amazing box full of vintage lace and ribbons which I have been using for these new brooches. I love using this material because it means a lot to me (since it has been part of my mom's, grandma's and great aunts' "stashes") and I feel like it truly has a soul, a history. 
Rushing/sewing the lace has been my favorite part in making these! It requires a lot of minutiae, which I love, and takes some time but I almost always feel happy about the result. 
I made these with a bunny theme as they will be part of a "bunny show" at the Eve-N-odd gallery in Florida in April but I am already making more with different designs... I will post some pictures soon :)


I tremendously enjoyed making these brooches and I hope you will like them too!
