 the sweetest bunny tucked inside an egg!
  

For this sweet antique inspired little bunny and her egg I used the spun cotton technique.
A little history of spun cotton: The making of Spun cotton ornaments originated in Germany in the 19th century. Cotton was spun around a wire frame and sealed with a natural glue or starch.

The bunny's face is an antique Blond German china doll head.
A little history on German china dolls: Antique porcelain German doll heads, particularly china doll  & bisque dolls were produced in Germany from 1840-1930s.  
I love to rescue antique German doll heads and give them new precious life. The doll heads maybe broken or have scars like this little doll head has on her cheek.

To make the bunny I formed the spun cotton around the broken doll head. Bunny is painted white and stained with a Grimm-mix to give it a an antique vintage feel. The bunny is accented with pink ribbon bow. 
The bunny doll is firmly attached to the inside of an egg and can not be removed.  I made the egg with spun cotton, painted pale aqua/teal, sprinkled with clear German glass glitter and the egg is accented with antique gold trim. The egg is firmly attach to mossy base.  The base is embellished with vintage millinery flowers.

Piece measures 3 1/2 inches x 2 1/2 inches.
