Peter Rabbit and his #littleadventure in London

So I stumbled across this artist work and it’s really amazing...

These are made by Marcus’s Crocker who made a six of Beatrix Potter’s best-known characters for a London adventure! It was in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the author’s birth.

What’s even more amazing is how he made them:

Amazing right? Haha I was trying to get inspiration to make the rest of Peter’s friends and I stumbled across this amazing piece of art.

It’s just too bad he did not make Mr Tod or Pigling Bland. Would have loved to see that!

So I made my own versions:

My favourite is Mrs Tiggy Winkle... she looks like an auntie, at least to me. Mr Tod did not turn out too menacing though. Jemima Puddle Duck looks like a white version of Daffy Duck I made previously.

They were super fun to make!

So they are off on their own #littleadventure!

How I made Peter Rabbit after several tries.

I was planning my Little One’s birthday party and the inspiration for making Peter Rabbit came from:

(Courtesy of Sprinkie Parties - does it not look absolutely pretty!)

So I set out to make Peter Rabbit. I had previously made some rabbits before... like Bugs Bunny and Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh. And I do often refer back to old patterns for new similar characters I want to make.

But Peter Rabbit does not look anything like those rabbits... just look at the cheeks! Haha.

So I started from scratch and I made many mistakes along the way:

1) Wrong colour

So I started out with a darker colour and it looked... erm, wrong. I think by now I already felt the head shape was non-rabbit-ish.

2) Wrong snout

And then I changed the colour... felt it looked better but after inserting the snout, my husband said Peter looked like a rat. You know... Peter Pettigrew rat-tish, wrong Peter. I even added a white rim around the eyes. Honestly, I have no idea where I threw this piece already.

3) Wrong head shape

I subsequently removed his snout and left his head with a pear-shaped outline. My sister said it looked okay but I still was not entirely satisfied. It’s really something about the shape that bothered me.
