The Big Ear Bunny is one of the newer members of the Traveling Chicken and Monster Show. He is very quiet so I don't know much of his story. Like the other bunnies in the show people who love him find him, hug him and take him home. It is a strange phenomenon. There is very little conversation around the bunnies. Usually a comment about how soft he is. He hasn't told anyone his name so we call him BEeB. If he talks to you, let me know!
He is soft and huggable. I try to work with scraps and remnants but BEB = started from fabric on a bolt. I was shopping with my friend B at a quilt shop. As usual, I stopped to look at the fluffy fabric. B saw the chenille and said "you HAVE to make something out if this." I choked on the price but picked it up. I didn't know who was going to emerge from it but I did know that I needed some contrasting fabric so I choked some more and bought it.
When I got home, I started flipping through my sketch book when I found this little bunny with the big ears. It was exactly what I needed for this bunny. So I digitized him and stitched him up. The first draft was in beige fleece. He was on the table when a dad put the bunny in the hands of his tiny daughter. She hugged him and that was it. So the Big Ear Bunny is now a staple of the the Traveling Chicken and Monster Show!
I will be listing him in the shop soon.
