Hi !! so i've been following you on tumblr, and i love love love the book arts blog you have, so i wanted to get to talk to you somehow.. now unfortunately my knowledge of internet (in particular tumblr) baffles me and i couldn't work out how to contact you there... (breathe) ok. So here my thing I'm making rabbits, out of children's drawing (yes paper ones) and I'm sewing them. and i was wondering if you could think of a way i could call them (a booK) of some kind, you see I'm doing Fine art, and I'm looking at making books for my print class, but my ideas sort of amalgamated into these bunnies but i still want to consider them "books" I'm only about half way through making all the ears, arms, legs, bums and tails so i have a Facebook page with progress on it. so maybe you could take a look for me? hi i know you don't really know me but could you like this for me please? be very grateful

oh each bunny has its own little tag with a name that represents an angel baby lost through stillbirth, miscarriage or illness.
thanks and sooooo sorry for the ramble
Anna

Hi Anna! I'm so sorry that I've only just seen this now, I never use my deviantart account anymore now that I'm on tumblr!
Your project sounds and looks wonderful too, and I know it's probably much too late for your class, but if you're still interested, you could perhaps make a fabric "book bunny"?
Like make the head, hands, feet etc separately, and then have the main body/torso of the bunny be a sewn/embroidered book you attach them to (you put cardboard inside little fabric pockets, pad them a bit for plushness and then sew them up so they'll act as pages- the cardboard will prevent them going all floppy!) You could hand embroider a simple short story or poem on the pages?
Sorry again for only seeing this now!
Best, Leah x
