Better go & see if I can find one to post;

These are my bunny's:

This one is made with 2 260, starting together with the ears and work with them together till one of them will end as the tail and the other will come up to be his back, and sometimes even to end as the nose. Ad then I attatch the eyes.
I hope this makes sence?
I'll be happy to show some photo instructions if someone would like it.
He's quick to make, so exelent fo linework!

This one is made with just 1 260 and of course some scraps.

Ithink I got this one from one of Doug Brearley's books, many years ago. My 'artwork' doesn't do it much justice, though. When I learnt to do this I considered it one of my better feats but with balloon modelling having taken such a great pace forward, I'm not so sure - nah, it is my artwork that's the problem :(
However ... my contribution to the collection.

Here is a wrist rabbit from Don Caldwell. His ears are too big (the rabbits not Don's!)

I looked through my files and these are the bunnies I found.  It seems to me there should have been more, but I guess I lost the rest when my computer crashed a couple of years ago.

The kissing bunnies are Jeanine Von Essen's design.

more bunnies.......

Post by: Bonnie on August 07, 2008, 10:29:08 AM

...and even more bunnies.

The stuffed bunnies were inspired by Alexandra's Pop N Love rabbit.  The rounds had either candy or plushes stuffed into them.

and even more bunnies.  

The face of the valentine bunny was inspired by a rabbit face made by Don Caldwell.

The pink rabbit's face was made using a Qualatex cat face print 6" heart.

Pity I couldn't find the pic of the yellow rabbit where is wasn't holding the basket.  It has a nice body shape to it.

Happy twisting,
Bonnie, The Balloon Lady

Here is the "rabbit with small thighs roses." In a story for french child, he eats a lot of carrots. It is said in France that eating carrots gives thighs roses!
