Some Bunny's Dreaming

Mosaic bunny and flowers by Jeanne Selep
Mosaic "Some Bunny's Dreaming" Detail

My "Some Bunny's Dreaming" mosaic stepping stone was created in 2020 because a favorite 3D ceramic bunny broke and I wanted to try to reuse the pieces.  I ended up using sections of the ceramic bunny to make the rabbit in a circular stepping stone.

I wanted the rabbit/bunny to appear to be whimsically dreaming of a Klimt-like field of flowers, and I had several plates in particular that I wanted to use.

One of the plates I really wanted to use had the Lilies of the Valley on it, which became the grass the rabbit sits on.  The other plate had the blue-purple flowers immediately above the rabbit's head, with a very spring-like green foliage and hand-painted with gold.  This plate had an Art Deco feel to it.

I also wanted to use hand-painted pink and yellow flowers from some orphaned teacup saucers, and I used various violet patterned china to fill in the rest of the flowers.

Arranging the landscape line in a circle was harder than I thought.  As I put the "grass" in the foreground, it was too low at first, and putting the grass behind the bunny caused the arrangement to became less whimsical and more like a landscape.

Different lighting, (for example bright sun) makes the mosaic texture stand out more.  Because the stepping stone has three dimensional parts, I placed it in a spot where (hopefully) it won't get stepped on.

French Ethereal said...

Jeanne, I love this sweet bunny mosaic!!! I have an entire bin of broken teacups, plates and such that I have been saving for years. My kids came to know that if something broke, we could reuse it in the future in a fun project. A perfect way to reuse something which was once loved to be loved again!

I tried to pull in one of your photographs again, but alas it just wouldn't. :( Not sure why when it will pin. Maybe because I am no longer on Blogger but over on WordPress...? Anyway, happy to pin your bunny mosaic!!!

Thank you for linking up at Share Your Style two weeks ago. I ended up taking off last week with my second Covid shot and getting back late from Oklahoma (where it was, then I went on a drive.)

Spring hugs,
Barb :)
