Bambi

Myrsky entered the "The Daily Bunny", fingers crossed:)

Here's Myrsky's "brother" Bambi,

a Miniature Lop,

Born in Thornton Heath, London, UK,

Lives in Männikkö, Vihti, Finland,

5 years 3 months

And Speaking of "Bambies";

Here's a wicked photie a happy customer sent me of her brand new

Funky Homo sapiens Funky Bambi "Anchors Up":

Doesn't she fit in just perfectly,

lovely retro inspired colour and pattern interior

in her new home in Helsinki, Finland:)

She said the Bambi was to remind her not to "get anchored down"

- So true!

Abigail's take on Robin:)

I've featured this artist before, but I read an article written by one of my favourite bloggers Decor8, about her visit to the London Design Week and about her excitement over the ever-so-talented Miss Abigail Brown:)

I had to share these pics and I noticed she had made a little ROBIN, my spirit bird, my favourite, my rock, my little saviour <3 Here's she is:

She has a new (?) boutique on Big Cartel where you can search for your own favourites:) I absolutely adore Pheasants as well, Miss brown has such a wonderful eye for perfect little details + the well admirable skill of hand stitching.

Hah, this is bit embarassing, and the pics are rubbish, apologies, but here's my ode to my precious little Robins:)

The first one I did back in June (I think) on a week long Tiffany Art Glass course in Lohja, Finland. It's okies, loved making all the little Apple Blossoms, but the Robin looks bit too much of a Bullfinch, so I had another go on another week long course end of August 2011, in Nummi, Finland.

It has taken quite a few days and countless of hours to finish, but I finally completed it today, 2nd of October in a two-weekend Tiffany Art Glass- course in Vihti, Finland:) I wanted to make something possibly Christmas-sy / Autumn-y, ha.

OH, almost forgot, how cool is this!:
