I am pleased
to introduce Tulip, a
hard working Dutch bunny with a very serious nature.
Tulip was
named after her very
great great grandmother Tulip, the illustrious founder and President of
Tulip’s
Tulip Farm, where the most spectacularly beautiful tulips in all the
world are
grown.
|
 |
Someday, Tulip will be
President
of the farm. For now, she loves to go out into the fields in the fall,
and dig
perfect little holes with her front paws. Her brothers and sisters
follow along
behind her, rolling tulip bulbs carefully into the holes. Cousins and
second
cousins follow along behind them, filling in the holes with dirt to
cover the
bulbs. |
|
In the spring, when the
tulips
burst into bloom, all the Dutch bunnies dance through the fields in
celebration
of the beauty they have helped to create. Tulip loves the lavender
tulips the
most. You can tell from the lavender tulip pockets she has sewn on her
sky blue
dress.

Tulip is an original
one-of-a-kind
work of art, and she is meant for display only. No molds are ever used
in my
work. She is hand-sculpted from paperclay, and entirely hand painted
with
acrylic paints. Her whiskers are made from stiffened cotton thread.
|
 |
Tulip is
signed and dated, and
sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. She rests
firmly on
a turned wooden base that is stained and sealed in golden oak.
|
Tulip is an itty bitty
bunny. She
stands only 4 1/4 inches tall. She comes with a hang tag, a certificate of authenticity, and a copy of her story.

Many hours go
into the making of
each of my dolls. I strongly believe in fine craftsmanship and
artistry,
and I pay great attention to small details. Each doll is a
unique work of
art, and I am able to produce them in only a very limited number. I do
my best to
create little dolls with big personalities because that is what I love
to do.
