Hello and happy Monday, of course it’s bank holiday today so it is good Monday. Heheh. So, bit of surprise in this blog, I did a chatting video! The very first video that I was talking, I was actually so nervous talking like this, to the camera as well, don’t know what and how to talk like this particular things, I just went along and hoping it makes sense. So, please be kind, I did my best. 😅😅😅 In this video I talk about my two products, a mug and tote bag, why I thought they’re ideal Easter gifts (and gifts for rabbit lovers of course), and what inspired me to use this painting onto products and to paint by illustrate what rabbit went through, as well as making them looked beautiful, and at the same time have a happy ending. If you have watched it, I thank you and really appreciate it. Remember, rabbits are for life, not just for Easter. Thanks!  

  Happy Easter! Got some chocolate eggs yourself? I had some and I’ll devour them tonight, then I’ll be in chocolate coma. Heheh.  So here’s my painting of cute Easter rabbit dropping two Easter eggs off by the Easter Lily, before hopping away. Speaking of rabbit, I have two products that I’ve listed in my Etsy shop, are the mug and tote bag. Here’s a tote bag, got two options of colour, white and cotton, the material is sturdy you can carry some bottles of drink and frozen foods, I’ve done it with heavy frozen foods, hold really well! And here’s a mug, a ceramic printed in vibrant colour, and it’s dishwasher and microwave safe, which is a good thing I suppose! Thinking of them for next year Easter gift? Do it! Also perfect gift for rabbit lovers. Hope you had a nice Easter and enjoy eating your chocolate eggs if you have some!

 It's Easter Sunday today, with good weather as well. This Easter, I have been painting my joint 3rd foster rabbit, Pickle. Back in May 2012, he was brought in to me from an animal hoarding house, he came with another rabbit. His breed, I assumed, is New Zealand, he was very nervous and he hide a lot when he was in the house, the shoe rack and top of the storage box underneath the stairs were his favourite spots. But when he was outside, in his own hutch with a large enclosed run, he was more relaxed. He also was curious and didn't scurry away whenever I approached him close, just to say hello. As shown from these two photos above. I gave him some time to get used to me and my family, to show him that people aren't that bad, he then found out that he really likes head patting! As well as he stays on the floor to relax in the house, instead of hiding away from us. In August 2012, he was adopted. From a shy, skittish rabbit to a very relaxed rabbit! Back to painting, with thi...

Here's an another pet portrait of my second foster rabbit. I'd like another reminder about having rabbits from Easter time. As I mentioned in this blog post: Rabbits are for life, not just for Easter , that we had one in this situation, a rabbit bought for Easter gift and later abandoned in the street. This is April the Abandoned Easter Rabbit. Back in 2012, Easter Day was on the 8th of April, a couple of weeks after Easter weekend, the kind people spotted her between the outer back garden and the field, comforted her while waiting for the RSPCA inspector. My family were informed about her and we went to collect her. My family and I named her April because she was rescued in April and we also thought it's suited her. She was a mini Rex, she does have a really nice velvety fur coat. She was quite shy but doesn't mind the human company around her, so she was a very sweet girl, and we thought she's a young doe. As we thought she's young, we assumed she must've ...
