Hi everyone,
If you want to enter this month's competition make sure you do so soon, it must end on Sunday!
Good luck :)

I would like to enter my silver rabbit pendant for the Easter theme, I didn't think I'd make it in time! He is about 40mm tall measuring from his upright ear. I carved Mr. Rabbit's head and body from a block of Ferris Blue wax and added the ears separately. I originally had his ears designed in a way to make its own bail which I thought was so clever, until I realised the chain would hang the wrong way and had to go back to the drawing board! So obviously not so clever at all. I planned to photograph him next to Easter chocolates but unfortunately it took me so long to finish him that I ate all the chocolate already :(

Thank you! But don't be sorry about the chocolate as it was delicious :)Quote:

Thank you so much, this made my day! My birthday is this week as well so winning this month is really lovely :) :ta:
Congratulations, Sandra. That's an ace piece of carving. Dennis.
Well done Sandra :)
The bunny is just darling and you must have such an eye to have carved him by hand, very impressive!
