A purple rabbit called Rascal 2nd

I made a few mohair rabbits last year for the craft shop.  There was one of them that I really liked.  He was called Rascal and had such grumpy expression.
He was sold a few weeks ago and got lost in the post.  I was quite annoyed with GPO because I would sooner have kept him for myself  than not know where he has ended up. 
This is Rascal 1st
The customer asked if I had another like him.  I hadn't as I had made him as a one off, but told him that I had some of the mohair left and would try to make another as close as possible.
He needed to be a bit different (or Rascal 1st wouldn't have been a one off) and as I didn't have quite enough of the purple tipped for his tummy he has a Panda type strip at his neck.
I was really pleased how he turned out and I like him just as much as his 'brother'.  He doesn't look quite as grumpy does he?
Rascal 2nd
He is an 8" design in luxurious German purple mohair with cream/lilac tipped muzzle and tummy and pink ultrasuede paw pads and ear inners.
The customer hasn't bought him yet so if you are interested in him he will be available for general sale shortly.

**He is now available in my online shops**

I am in a colourful mood to try to combat all this rain we are getting and finished this 8" Rainbow bear yesterday.  He is available at  www.etsy.com/shop/PollyKay11 for international buyers and www.pollysvintagebears.weebly.com for UK customers, priced at £28 including UK postage.

  1. Isn't that so annoying - not only lost, but having to make another and so losing time and money. Sometimes I get rather angry with the good old GPO - the amount of stuff that goes missing. Where does it all sit? I am waiting for a parcel this very minute and it seems it may have gone astray.

  2. It is annoying. Did you keep your proof of posting? You should be able to claim compensation - you can get a form from the PO. I have once made a claim, and they were very good - a cheque arrived not long after.

    Love the rainbow bear - he has a very intense expression!
