Custom Baby Shower Or New Baby Gift
Handcrafted Mother Rabbit with baby figure would make a beautiful baby gift or a perfect baby shower gift for the Mother to be. The rabbit figure stands 4" tall and was handcrafted by molding chalkware (plaster of paris) into a rare German antique chocolate mold. The finished white plaster surface represents a wonderful 3D canvas for the design and colors of your choosing. Custom Choices: 1) This particular rabbit figure can be simply painted in any color of your choosing with no design for $60. 2) Choose the design shown for $75. 3) Prices for your own custom design would range from $75-150 Contact me with your ideas and I am happy to customize a piece for you. The inspiration for my artwork reflects a love of floral and fauna, historical art motifs and the beauty of nature. Using self-taught methods, my folk art captures the character and warmth of a centuries old tradition of chalkware and offers unique, hand crafted treasures. While some pieces are crafted using engaging innovative designs, others are inspired by the designs of centuries past. The exacting craftsmanship, colorful design, and finishing of these pieces reflects our historic past and as a result, each piece takes on the patina of a well-loved antique. Finishing expertise and attention to eye-catching details ensure a treasure that will last a lifetime.

About My Work
The art of molding plaster of paris, referred to as chalkware, into holiday treasures is a centuries old German tradition.
My Folk Art brings together this German tradition with antique chocolate molds and offers a unique, handcrafted treasure that will last a lifetime. I love painting in rich, saturated colors and most of my artwork involves intricate designs borrowed from nature.
While some pieces are crafted using engaging innovative designs, others are inspired by the designs of centuries past. The exacting craftsmanship, colorful design, and antiquing finishes reflect our historic past and as a result, each piece takes on the patina of a well-loved antique.
