January BJP 2012


Well, I finally decided what I was going to do for my pages this year. Well, Nature decided for me. This has been such an awful winter this year, with a lot of temperature readings below zero and it has affected the wildlife as hard as it has the human population. So, I was so taken with the Rabbit in the tree, it just had to be. Good grief, that rhymes...didn't mean to do that, anyway, the critters we live around will be my focus this year......starting with the rabbit that took refuge in the lower branches of our tree. He also seems to be sheltering under our deck, according to the tracks he leaves behind. The snow is just deep enough that I think he just hopped from the snowbank onto the branches. Anyway, if he returns I now have batteries in my camera, so I am ready.

Char this is amazing! it's really inspired, perfect choice of beads and perfect placement of each one. I love it. Can't wait to see your next woodland model rendered by your hand

Snowing like crazy in Southeast. Alas, no wild bunnies here...

I love the simplicity of this piece, yet its so stunning. Your bead choice for the tree branches is perfection as your beading is too.

We have had rabbits hop across the snow to nibble on the middle branches of our hedges. It looks so funny in the spring to see just the middles eaten away. But not THIS winter. We are having a really mild winter. It snows then temps go to 40 and it rains and melts.

Funny, our weather man is usually comparing us to Fairbanks. We must be on the same latitude.
xx, Carol

Your rabbit is adorable. The way you beaded it really shows the shape of the rabbit and the shape of the tree.
