I haven’t completely forgotten that this blog is to help exhibit my tiny jewelry business, and as Easter is around the corner, I have put my willow bunny pendant on sale!

outdoor1Basically the price now covers the cost of materials and $10 of it is still going to rabbit rescues.  This is a busy time of year for these organizations, as many rabbits end up in shelters not long after Easter, when people realize their cute balls of fluff do not stay tiny and non-destructive forever, and actually can live to be over 12 years old.  Hanna, my own rabbit, may have been an unwanted Easter bunny, based on how old she was when she was found as a stray.  Though I generally try to stay off of bandwagons, I have liked the “Make Mine Chocolate” idea of giving rabbit-themed gifts instead of live animals like chocolate bunnies, stuffed animals, and even jewelry *wink.*

hannapicHanna says you should totally go buy one…and that plastic eggs are slightly disturbing, but fun to roll around.

I became so focused working on the dollhouse that I didn’t realize almost a month had passed between update posts!  I have been doing several smaller projects on the cottage at once, and will be posting as they are completed.

greenshopThe shop front received its dapper green paint job, done in layers of acrylic paint with some pastel dust and varnish to make it look aged. The bay window also got its frame of stained wood and run of brickwork, and the first of the miniscule LED lights has made its appearance (the dot to the left of the door frame).

To me the shop was not complete without its name blazoned in gold across the front.  I initially sought out water-slide decals, the kind used on model trains, but the color and size were just not quite right.  I earned a bit of an eyeroll from my husband (similar to when I proclaimed I was making tiny bricks), when I decided to cut a stencil and paint the 3mm letters on.  The only things I had with an adhesive backing were some “Hello my name is” name tags, which I unceremoniously taped to a sheet of paper and ran through the printer.  After spending some quality time squinting and brandishing an X-Acto knife, I had a tiny, stick-on stencil.
