AMERICANA FOLK ART BUNNY RABBIT~THE STITCH FIDDLER~


                             I've been busy working on this adorable Americana Bunny Rabbit. He is made using coffee stained Osnaburg fabric. His navy blue top hat and coat jacket are made using a piece of soft brushed upholstery fabric. I bought a huge box of samples and this is one of them. His trousers are a striped corduroy and I accented that hat with a matching piece of fabric. He is all dressed up and ready for that special Americana Day.

This Rabbit was a custom order that has sold. I hope to make more like him soon!

I will be out of state for the next couple of weeks visiting  my daughter and  grandaughter....hope to take lots of pictures. Once I get home I will be sewing up a storm and working on another Izannah Walker doll.

AFRICAN AMERICAN DOLLS


Folk Art African American Cloth Dolls by Bethann Scott "The Stitch Fiddler" ©2012
Today I was sitting in my sewing room looking at these two dolls and decided to do a photo shoot sitting on an antique oak bench that is part of this wonderful 100 year old woodwork.                                     Now that they are together, you can see the difference in the two dolls. It looks like a mother and daughter doll set.
