and then there were two



but unlike last time* , he has a name : Theo, and is a boy ( um obviously). I didn't paint this little guy this time because I really love the fabric he's made out of. It's the most beautiful bit of wool, which is so soft and a bit fuzzy, it has a look to it almost as if it's old. So it seemed like sacrilege to paint it.


Don't ask me where I got it though, i have all these random bit of fabric and yarn I've had for so long I can't remember where I got where half the time.
Anyway I think the two of them ( the rabbits that is) are happy hanging out together.

*a wee update on dear old LFR. After an overwhelming response from blogland, it was pretty much confirmed he was a boy and I was going with the name Charlie in my mind. But then Catherine's little one threw a spanner in the works but saying it was a girl named Tink ( and I seriously loved that name) So I was faced with somewhat of a moral dilemma, who to go with, because kids are pretty smart about these things. But on the other hand how could I ignore the popular vote? after inspecting LFR, who now is known as Tink Charlie Albert Byron (a literary type we think) is a very rare multi-sex rabbit-like snails you know. Either that or a cross dressing male rabbit. You decide.
Name suggestions - as much as they were appreciated- are now closed I think it's confusing enough being a Multi-sex rabbit in this day and age, with four names.

Really, I love that you have a category for "multi-sex rabbits." Only you, Jess...

Theo is just sweet, and the lovely Kumkwat has won a small heart in our household.

I love them! Did I tell you I got my card? I got my card. i am framing it too like jennie, although someone spotted it and carried off to her room, so i guess it will be in her space.

Multi sex rabbits with four names would fit in perfectly around here. The things you see...I love them so much by the way and also Tink was second on our list of names for Jazzy. I love it too. X

Catherine said...

Theo is lovely (and obviously a boy!). Tink Charlie Albert Byron is definitely our favourite over here, though! xo

Wow, they are so realistic looking, superb and almost what I see out my window at work - no don't work in a field but in the midst of a big garden surrounded by trees & lots of wildlife so you know what I do when I get bored!

the rabbits are just too adorable, I too love working with wool fabric.

Alisa said...

Wow, these guys are dead ringers for our kindy bunnies, who were thought to be two boys until the hutch filled with baby bunnies overnight... true story! With bunnies, getting the sex right is kinda important. : )
ps. Tink is a v.cute name.
