Travel Bunnies

I had the absolute pleasure of painting this commission for a gift from a friend to her sister as a little gift to wish her well on her travels round Thailand.  When younger, the sister had a toy bunny and upon seeing my bunny doodles for the Brown Paper Bunny (aka Jessica Mack) she was inspired to ask me to do a special one.

Are you off on travels?  Or have you been to Thailand?  Share a little story in the comments!

I went to Thailand for a month in 2009.  I had intended on seeing a temple made of beer bottles - recycling to the extreme!  Only I never quite found it, no one knew what I was talking about.  Next time I shall do more research before I go :-) I enjoyed a very relaxed lifestyle and enjoyed the Thai food, even did a cookery lesson.

Mail Art for a YEAR!

The lovely Jessica Mack has been a very busy bunny over the last couple of months with this & that, what-not and life.  But, bless her.  If this is the outcome...I LOVE IT!  I am now the proud owner of a Jessica Mack ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATION :-D, she's stocked me up with gift tags (just in time for Christmas present wrapping), a cute notebook + matching pen, a sweet origami bunny and a lovely christmas card.

I had begun to worry that something had gotten lost in the post so was really happy to come home to this package on friday evening after work.  It was a lovely end to my week and start to the weekend - my first weekend after a week at my new job :-D

Most of this I shall be keeping, using, treasuring...but the illustration, I feel deserves a home.  So, it has been framed up and is going under the tree for my sister...I can't give too many details incase she reads the post - I have two sisters so they will be mystified as to which one of them is getting it!  But I know she will love it and it won't be too far away for me to appreciate it still.

Thanks for reading,

Post for Year - month two

YAY! My second instalment (shall we say?) of post/mail for a year from the lovely Jessica Mack aka Brown Paper Bunny who I was introduced to through Twitter.  You can find her on there at @BrownPaperBunny.

The lovely card is by Sara Lynn, and there was a secret on paper that melts when you put it in water - what a great idea!  A little bunch of doggy post-its and an awesome Platypus stamp (as well as one of the National Library of Canberra) :-) I seem to of picked up a love of Platypus' from my boyfriend.  Unfortunately we didn't actually get to see one when we were in Australia, maybe next time eh?

You can see what I replied to Jessica's post last month on her blog here.

Post every month for a year! Yippeeee

The lovely Jessica Mack (@BrowanPaperBunny) decided to do a RT random pic competition and the lucky winner was to get post every month for a year.  I was pretty happy when the search engine randomly picked me!  This is the first post I've received :-D it's so lovely, I've been showing everyone I know! My particular favourite is the rhino notecard, I have admired these since she created them, and the 'Peri' Penguin zine was such a bonus - so cute! And if you open him out, theres a Peri dressed as an Indian! AMAZING!

So, thank you Jessica.
