Champagne cork bunnies

My versions are sitting on little cork plates originally meant to be put under wine or water glasses. I painted them with acrylic paint and the champagne corks with watercolour (because I didn't have white acrylic paint), added the bow ties and the eyes and decorated the whole thing with a felt flower, each. The bunny eggs are simply thick paper, and the little nests I pilfered from a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and filled with candy. *g*



Watercolour isn't the right stuff for cork, so if I ever make anything like this again I'll have to buy a pot of white acrylic paint, I'm afraid.

On a different creative front, I improvised a baked wreath with blueberry jam and walnut filling today. Everything that saves me the necessity of putting on outside clothes and go to the grocer's.
