Bunni - Feedback needed

[Cloverst]

Warning, this is not any ordinary Bunny. If you were expecting a cutsy fluffy bunny look away now!

I made this for my hubby as he is a bit of a closet goth lol!

It is sewn round the edges in black thread and it contrasts really well adding to the twisted look.

The thing is for me the design came too easially and I'm a bit worried that it was my subconsious that has seen it somewhere and thought I want one! Could you take a look and let me know a) what you think and b) if you've seen it anywhere else. It's my very first sewing project on my new dinky machine!

I like it, think it's cute. Don't think I've seen it anywhere before.

To be absolutely honest, I really don't know! I like it but not sure if I would buy it. It looks a bit like the characters off the new Corsa car advert. I think I'd maybe like to see a bit of colour on it, not a lot, just a splash of purple, burgundy, royal blue... Or maybe sew a coloured button on its tummy.

Sorry if I'm not being very helpful! :o

That's exactly what i thought!

Or for one of the eyes

He just needs a twisted carrot and he'd be one seriously twisted bunny!

That could be more scarier than the clowns:mf:

I wouldn't want him delivering my choccy eggs, but he has a certain appeal to him...;)

Shana's idea of the twisted carrot is cool. And I think it would be a good seller at Hallowe'en.

I can just see my hubby would find it really funny.

That is a very odd wabbit, but I quite like its pervertedness. :D

[Cloverst]

lol, He's a one off just for my hubby. Really it was just to test my new machine (which the timing was out on :mad: ).

The colour (or lack of it) was DH's choice and he's wanting a matching black one. I already made him a tiny keyring version of this one, I'm just waiting to take a piccy of it.

I enjoyed making it and already have other designs in the pipeline, perhaps to sell this time. Don't worry though they will be more colourful!

Looks like an Alex Pardee bunny.

This is the closest I can find:

I guess I'm safe from being accused of nicking his design! lol

There's some really cool stuff in the last link's shop though.

Eeeeek! That is scary, sort of how I feel first thing in the morning. Maybe you could do them in different colours. I think they could catch on though.

[swirlyarts]

Love the bunny but wouldn't have one just yet as it would scare Anya!! I've seen similar things on Etsy and from what I can gather they seem to sell well - they appeal to alternative crafters!

[Beadsage]

Yipee...........a name for me at last!............Alternative Crafter! :D

I like it. He seems a bit sad, a bit wierd, a bit of a maverick. He doesn't fit in, estranged, on the sidelines. But happy there. An off beat but happy little bunny!

Oh dear...where are my pills....:o
