Edward Tulane

I’ve been making Edward for 10 years! And yes, I still have some to make! Have you read the book? 

A bunny and a box ...

I made a bunny from teeny tiny scraps. I rubbed chalk into her to make her look extra old, dirty and sad ... 

Then I placed her in a box with other items and felt guilty. Poor bunny. 

Edward Tulane rabbit doll still having adventures ...

Two Edward Tulane Dolls just Left my hands ...

One of them took a moment to send a picture of himself in his new home, via my Etsy shop! He does look rather handsome if I say so myself ...

And here is a little Edward, the smaller version of the doll I make, making a new friend with a very young fan!

It looks like they are going to get on well. If you have one of my dolls I would love to see him ... And you!

Sock Rabbit

This pink bunny on my lush green lawn makes me smile! I can almost believe spring is on its way. 

She was made from 2 very stretchy socks, no pattern and careful stuffing. She was sent to my friend Helen in hospital far away. 

I'm looking forward to Easter, are you?

A very special handkerchief!

This lovely retro hanky came is a box with three others, and was labeled PURE IRISH LINEN!

I have embroidered it for a very special bed-time edition of Edward Tulane.

I finished the lettering waiting for the local pantomime to start on Saturday!

Edward Tulane for Christmas!

Edward Tulane needs a pocket for his pocket watch!

I always feel better when each one as at least something to wear! Sometimes I do his eyes last of all when he is fully dressed!

Then he has a good long look at me before I kiss him and send him on his way!

The miraculous adventures of edwards tulane!

Three little Edward Tulanes recently left my hands ... these are the scaled down, of 'half size - when i make full sized Edwards they can sit in my dining chairs with their ears above the table cloth, and listen to the chit chat of dinner!

they all grow a different character as I work with them ...

And often I am a little sad to see them go, but of course whisper good things in their furry ears and send them on their way!

Hop lil' rabbit!

A new bunny, in cream fleece fabric with a sweet furry cotton tail ...

Seen here having a hop at the Portland Exlab project!

Little Edward Tulane, sweet rabbit doll!

another sweet rabbit doll is finished!

He is off to make a school teacher happy, as The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is very well read in schools...

The Blues ...

A blue star for a friends new baby girl ...

A blue coat for another Edward Tulane Rabbit!

And Edwards amazing 'painted' blue eyes, another WIP ...

WIP Edward Tulane Dolls, felted eyes!

Edward Tulane and Picasso!

This is the Smaller Edward doll again, of course ...

two little white rabbits ....

Hello Edward Tulane, again!

Rabbit and Cat

Edward Tulane again, this time wearing some red pyjamas, and looking very much like the little figure on the spine of my copy of Edward Tulane .. He will also get the frilled coat and trousers, and is off to cheer up a poorly little girl now ...

If you would like your own Edward, please contact me. I am making a purse for a birthday girl tomorrow, it is of her cat tinsel and here it is WIP!

tents!

I came down after a shower to find girls busy making a field of miniature tents, using k'nex to make the frames ...



and various things to fashion the canopy!



I longed to climb inside and relax on a pile of bolsters! Must have been last night's Charlie and Lola episode with the Bedouin tents and camels!



Then Mummy made two more bunnies ...

did you guess what i was making?

And would you like one?



After all, spring is just around the corner!




come back on Monday for news of a cute give-away!

That's better!

OUCH!

He likes his coat, but not the needle felting needle in his eye!

Edward is coming along nicely ...

He wants me to do his eyes, and put buttons on his coat, tomorrow!

See-Hear!

finally the new memory card for my camera arrived, and I no longer need to limp along taking only 15 pictures at a time! The old 16MB card will go back in my jewellery box for spare again! It's actually the shiniest thing in my jewellery box to be honest ...



and I fiddled with a few projects, but I made and wired some lovely big ears ... for whom, do you think?
