Flower Bunny

In yesterday's #throwbackthursday blog post I mentioned that I still have the bunny pin that I made for my daughter Jodie in 2001. Here are a couple updated photos of it. As you can see, it's about 2-1/2 inches from ear tip to ear tip, and about 1-1/4 inches from top to bottom.

In this close up you can see how the entire pin is made from beads on perforated paper, with a whip stitch around the edge. The beads still shine after all these years. The bellflower Mill Hill Treasure has a nice soft glow in contrast to the matte white beads of the bunny's fur and the shiny pink seed beads in the ears and the rest of the flower garden.

For being 17 years old, this bunny is in fine fiddle, don't you think?
