Spring Rabbit by Marlene Doak

The Exemplary 2023:
3rd Place, Professional Non-Original without Instruction

Stitching this handpainted canvas by Shelly challenged me to select many different small stitches for the flower pedals. The rabbit is stitched in wool with various journeys of Interlocking Gobelin. I used knitting yarn for knots on the tail. The green background is worked in Nobuko (Horizontal Journey) with an overdye emerald Watercolor thread. I used reverse Diagonal Mosaic for the turquoise border to help hold the rabbit from running off the page.
