Hi everybody,

today I'd like to introduce you to Merci, the small rabbit which was made for this year's Mother's Day.
I've been making bears since 1999 - and this rabbit was the first time I didn't make a bear.

Merci stands about 7" inches tall and she's made from black and white alpaca. Her ears and arms are wired so that they can be posed in many ways. She's fully jointed, her nose is made from felt. Her eyes have been given white accents otherwise it would hardly be possible to see them. Her apron is also completely handmade.

The pattern for the rabbit and for the apron are from German Teddybear artist Hildegard Leber (Teddies and Friends).
