Crème de la crème

An idea occurred to me this afternoon as as I perused the chocolate counters for Easter treats - what fun it would be to have a dress entirely made of Creme Egg wrappers! I got to work that afternoon, unwrapping and carefully smoothing out the crinkled foil before photographing it. A little while later - ta da! My Crème de la crème dress was born.

I teamed it with an asymmetric purple bob, red heart shape sunglasses by elsa Liebknecht, and a dear little chirpy chick by Whynx Whiplash. I made the topper, adding red ostrich plumes and two little creme eggs tucked alongside. My mismatched purple and red boots, and red gloves came from Doh!

Altogether, not your average Easter look, but I think it's rather stunning all the same. Most eggcellent in fact.

Bunnykins, the Easter Rabbit

Bunnykins was meant to be a kind of grungy, dishevelled, forlorn looking creature, but, even though he has drawing pin eyes, and his limbs are only just staying on, he still ended up looking terribly cute. I gave him as an Easter gift to all the Atelier Eccentrics today, on top of a brown felt top hat. He has a dirty calico body, grubby flower fabric lined ears and paws, and pink sculpty buttons. Of course, a snowy-white fluffy tail finishes him off.

His faded pastel colours put me in mind of an outfit I made long ago, and had quite forgotten about, but since it is Easter, I dug it out from the back of my wardrobe. Here I am with our giant brown bunny from HPMD, in a nubbly knitted waistcoat with Victorian miniature portrait buttons, a pink floral ditsy blouse, and foxglove print, mustard skirt. 

Too many Easter eggs, too early in the day, have a lot to answer for.
