"Tesoro"

Her name means 'treasure' in Spanish.

This pincushion measures 17.5cm / 7" tall, from the base of the pincushion to the top of her parasol. The little bunny herself is only 9cm / 3.5" tall (sitting down). She's sewn onto the pincushion with a few stitches.

Her arms and legs are not jointed, they're ladder stitched to the body; but she has a jointed wobbly neck which allows her to pose her head in different positions. "Tesoro" was made from frosted long pile Sassy fur and wool felt fur for her inner ears and feet.

Her face, inner ears and feet were meticulously airbrushed and sculpted. Her nose and mouth were also hand embroidered with soft pink perle cotton. Her eyes are made of German black glass, and a set of eyelashes frame her sweet look.

She holds an antique handmade parasol made from acrylic and lace, then airbrushed to match her colours. A hand-dyed silk ribbon bow and silk flowers decorate her head.

"Tesoro" sits on a pincushion made from cashmere wool fabric which fits inside a Papier-mâché container, that has been decorated with fabric, trimming  and silk flowers.
