Selvagey Rabbit from Annette in Scotland

I received a delightful note today from Annette Tait of Edinburgh, Scotland. She made the gorgeous Arabella Rabbit Bag and the Baby Felines (decorated with selvages) that were featured here a while back.

This rabbit decorates the front of her notecard. I just love how the selvage "bits" add a shaggy texture. She used a foam-type adhesive between the rabbit and the card, raising it a little above the surface. Above the rabbit she wrote, "...Arabella had been very busy in the sewing room that morning..." I'm probably wearing a few threads right now myself!

In addition to Arabella rabbit bags and handmade cards, Annette makes baby hares, watercolors, and collages. Take a look at her Etsy store: http://www.dragonhouseofyuen.etsy.com/. Thank you Annette for your inspiration.

Annette Tait's Rabbit Bag and Baby Felines - Wow!

I love Annette Tait's "art-accessory rabbit bag!" That is so creative! See how she makes the raw edge extra shaggy? Just when you think you've seen it all, here's something to really rock your boat.

And she's not done - Take a look at her baby felines below! See the selvages? Can you believe it?

Read her own words below:

"I am also introducing a new line of soft sculptures into my etsy shop and the 3 initial ones I made up, baby felines, have just been posted, as a surprise gift, to a lovely friend who loves selvedge too and introduced me to your blog last month. Her cats love her sewing materials - so I made 3 kittens with characteristics of each of her cats and sewed selvedge spots onto them.
(They come with their own names and stories).

It's great to stop by and see the latest selvedge ideas! My mouth waters :)"
