"Live In Peace"

Live In Peace

You wound me with your words - dirty

You scathe me with your unknowing attacks - stupid

I need something you do not understand - knowledge

I need something you cannot give - love

My mind and soul are not yours - to decide

My body is not yours - to cage – to ignore

I was never something you - should give away

I am something you should have thought about

I am a rabbit - a ten year commitment

I am something to love and embrace

I live - I die - I want to do so in peace

Bunny Bean Bag Toss

I spend the last few weeks rushing to make a Bean Bag Toss game in time for my rescue's BIG fundraiser (Bunny Hop for Hope 2010).  It was a bit rushed at times as it was not the only task i had on my plate but it was finished with a whopping two days to spare!!

Check out the pictures of it's progress below!

First night I was able to get her sketched out and
get the sky painted!!

Finished the grass and started the sun & tulips.

Close up on the soon to be bunny (nameless at this point!)

Almost done but I wanted to get the holes cut out before
going any further... and that took a few days!

Holes cut!!

The finished bean bag toss!
Introducing Bentley the Bunny!!

Close up on Miss Bentley.

I am really quite proud of how well it turned out.  She's so cute and everyone at the Bunny Hop really seemed to enjoy her!

Hysteria Face

One night last week I spent the better part of my evening crawling around in the crawl space under our edition. Last weekend was New Moon Rabbit Rescue's annual Garage Sale & Bake Sale. I know I have more stuff than I know what to do with and thought I could find a couple of boxes worth of stuff to add to the growing pile of treasures. I did in fact find A LOT of things I no longer needed or wanted, but to be honest I had other things that motivated me to crawl around cracking my head on the 2 1/2 foot high ceiling... I was looking for this,



The date on this is - 1996. Man, was I proud of this thing, still am actually. When I started making it I had no idea what it would look like but as it sat, waiting to be painted, that's when I decided it would be a perfect tribute to one of my favourite bands - Def Leppard

For anyone unfamiliar with Def Leppard, the 'inspiration' for the painting is from the album cover for Hysteria... hence the name! hahaha!

And for those who have never seen the cover...

Moon Bunny

As I have mentioned, only briefly in the past, a friend and I founded a rabbit rescue about 4 years ago. Naturally this has spawned several creative endeavors involving bunnies - poetry, graphics, logos, crafts and otherwise. One of my favourite and also one of the most recent is the 'Moon Bunny'.




I created this graphic in order to help raise money for New Moon Rabbit Rescue. It can be purchase on a variety of merchandise on the rescue's Cafepress Store and Zazzle Store. 100% of the proceeds raised (from Moon Bunny and all other graphics) go to the rescue - directly towards the care of the rabbits!!
