Hello, it’s me, the pink felt bunny that needed a name. There were great name suggestions given: Barnaby Shmittles, Ralphie, Mr. Cotton Candie, Linkie, Cutypi and Mr. Cotton Ginny. After much thought, the name Ralphie seemed like a good fit for me. And guess what I am going to do? In the next few days I’m going to take you on a tour through Christine’s workspace and give you a behind-the-scenes look into her works in progress. I will be your tour guide and possibly become the spokes-bunny for Christine’s blog.
Here I am, amidst all of the many pieces that Christine has recently been working on. Lately, she has been casting new pieces in resin, cleaning/sanding the cast pieces, and hand-painting other already cleaned pieces. Lots of goings on and lots of clutter, but it is a creative clutter, which is the best kind of clutter!
Upon viewing the photo above you can see a tray of pieces being cast in the handmade silicone molds. In the middle section there is a conglomeration of white pieces that are some of the newly cast resin pieces waiting to be cleaned. The third section contains pieces that are getting prepped for attaching magnets to the backs. Stay tuned for more “in the studio” updates from me, your humble correspondent, Ralphie the Bunny!

Part three: Cleaning the Resin
An artist who aspires to become a children's book illustrator. Stays young at heart and an avid daydreamer. When the weather permits, I enjoy visiting/biking on the nature trail near my house. Visiting the trail has brought me many hours of enjoyment and relaxation. My camera is usually by my side while on the trail. I like to try to find the small and unnoticeable as subjects for my photos. And of course flowers and plant life encompass many of my subjects.
LOVE Ralphie and I’m enjoying the tour of your works in progress! Looking forward to more!
Thank you, Cheryl! :0)
