Please meet Gus and his accordion..

 Are you ready to Tango?

See you soon,  Love Gus

Gus was lovingly needle felted over a handmade armature in natural and merino wool.. 
He has blue acrylic eyes, handmade vest of felt and ribbon. He sits 8" tall.. His accordion was created with foam , paper, dimensional paint and string.
I hope you enjoyed your stay.
blessings,

  4. Hi Penny, Gus is an adorable rabbit with his accordion! He looks lovely.
    He reminds me of Carel Kraayenhof, who played the bandoneon during the church ceremony of the marriage of our new King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima :D!!
    Hugs, Ilona

  7. Hi, Penny, my Dear! Awww...he is absolutely adorable, and he fits right on with "Rabbit, rabbit" for the first day of the month! Thank you SO much for all your delightful visits and sweet comments for me...I swear, I am so behind! I decided that this evening was for me and I was going to sit down and make time to write and visit! ♥ Our youngest, Jonathan, graduates in 3 weeks and it seems like every day lately is just wild...and he takes care of most of it himself! (But I stress!) Tomorrow we have to see his advisor at the university about this fall's schedule...and this weekend is Senior Prom...:^) I guess I just need to settle down and make more Fairy Houses...;) ~ I am seriously having TOO much fun with those...♥)
    Hugs to you, my friend!
