Maisey Bufkins- Mohair Rabbit

Maisey Bufkins mohair fur and suede 
paws have gone from a pale pistachio 
to a pale woodland moss.

She has wobbly joints, a tilting head 
& droopy ears.
A silk rose ribbon.

 Antique glass eyes, a few repairs

& bare spots give her a well loved look.

Close to her heart she wears
a Bufkins family heirloom portrait
pendant, that hangs from a vintage
millners ribbon
Maisey Bufkins is hand sewn, weighted
 & stuffed with wool roving.  She's 14 
inches tall from the tip of her ears to the 
bottom of her feet, but 7 and 1/2 tall when 
seated.  She is available on my 
"For Sale" page.
Quite a transformation.
No bonnet or clothing, what's 
up with that??

I have been asked to do a tutorial
 on hand sewn button holes and 
movable  joints.
I will work on that.........
Happy Sewing!!

  2. I just now saw your post on Maisey Bufkins. So sweet and fine. I love her. the ribbon and pendant is a wonderful touch. A fine rabbit should have one of these. As usual, you have made another fabulous rabbit. Her eyes are beautiful too. perfect eyes.
