Here is another drawing of mine for Illustration Friday. This week's word is "toy." As you may know, I love toys! Sometimes I even sew and make toys. This illustration is of my Long Bunny Plush I made a few years ago.
This Long Bunny in particular was made to be a travel companion. I took this with me when we first went on a business trip to China and Hong Kong. These are pictures Raoul took. This was in 2008.
What a great travel buddy! This Bunny was great on my plane rides and car rides cos I could fold her and use this softie as a pillow. Needless to say, she is also very worn out and loved today. She does not look as "fresh" as in these photos.
Oooh, I love Long Bunny and her friends! Maybe you should market Soft Long Bunny as a travel pillow for kids...parents of restless kids would love them.
ReplyDeleteHooray for your Long Bunny, both plush & illustrated!
ReplyDeleteMy niece had a long two-headed dog pillow when she was a toddler, and I was so happy when she finally gave that dog to me when she became a teenager haha
I would have loved to see a "now photo" :-) What a lovely illustration and wonderful story.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. My 23 yr old daughter still takes her puff-puff on all of her trips.
ReplyDeletehee, hee very fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Long Bunny Love, everyone! I was too embarrassed to show the "then and now" version of poor Long Bunny! I also forgot Long Bunny's name is "Xiexie" which is Chinese for "thank you." You say "shay shay."
ReplyDeleteAnd I did get some wide eyed looks from children on the plane when I pulled out Xiexie! It made me feel good on the 24 hour flight! I was sick right before we had to leave. :(
She's sweet for sure. Did you have to buy her a separate ticket or do long bunnies fly for free? I forgot.
ReplyDeleteHaha, Robert!
ReplyDeleteLong Bunnies fly free as long as they can fold into your carry on luggage!
Long Bunny is a Lucky bunny.
ReplyDeleteSimply fun!
ReplyDeletevery nice =)
