Tracy

rabbit26.jpgrabbit25.jpgI finally finished this guy yesterday.  I'm planning to list him this weekend, but I simply can't come up with a name that suits him-------I have a hard time with the naming! bear_tongue

He is made from recycled alaskan fur seal (that I got by accident thinking I was buying sheared beaver.....I'm not sorry! bear_laugh  This is the softest stuff ever!) with fox fur for his muzzle, chest, and tail.  This one took me forever as it wasn't easy fur to work with and now I have very sore fingers!!!  I did wax the nose this time as the stitched nose just didn't look right on him, plus I messed it up in a couple of places so had to hide the boo boos! bear_grin

Any ideas on a name for him?

Wow...he is so realistic looking. Beautiful! Grandpa or gramps was the first thought I had when I saw him. He looks very wise, also!

Ooooh beautiful bunny. He reminds me of our first show bun - who was a star  bear_wub  Anyhow, his name was Bugsy and he ended up going bald - so that put an end to his show career  bear_wacko    bear_laugh

LOL ANyhow, how about Bugsy Bunny?

I LOVE him, your work amazes me.

:dance: Tracy he is AMAZING and looks so real .  I can feel the softness, I love seal fur but it sure is messy to work with  don't you think . The only name I can think of is Whiskers. But, I think the name Harrison Hare is the perfect choice.

Yes Tammy, seal fur is messy to work with, but has to be the softest stuff there is!  I love it! bear_wub   The most difficult part I noticed was with hand sewing.  With every stitch, the fur wanted to come along with the thread and make a knotted mess.  It was easier without using wax on my thread like I usually do, but still had some problem with it.  Was I ever glad to be done with all the sewing!! bear_tongue   I also noticed the hide of this alaskan seal fur was pretty heavy.  I have some other seal fur that is much lighter and probably lots easier to handle too.  (I hope!! bear_grin )

This guy is awesome!  The first name that comes to mind for me is Fairbanks.  That name has duel meaning.  Of course, Fairbanks, Alaska, but also the actor Douglas Fairbanks who was a very handsome and classy man.
