The author's idea and implementation.

Fleur is a wonderful Bunny (or rabbit) in the stylized dress of the Victorian era - Yes! dress is what matters here and the collar frill and noble dark blue Italian silk and delicate blue stripes and crisp Italian cotton raised on white background.
And white silk roses - reminiscent of the cameos.
Honey itself is designed in a simple milky white color. And in his dark blue eyes disappeared a sea of cornflowers. He is majestic and Regal is just waiting to put him in the most prominent place!

Now seriously.

On the website of the Fair of Masters there are many wonderful Waldorf dolls - girls and boys. But the animals in this simple but philosophical technique - can be counted on the fingers. So I was interested in working in this direction and create Waldorf image from the animal world. And it turned out this Bunny. Just in time for Easter)))

At work, I helped one Mom-shopper with a huge experience of raising children, which tested my first bunnies, together with their guys and gave me helpful advice, which I gratefully took into account and implemented in this toy.
That is what is important for the child, I am guided by age - from 0 to 9 years:
- toy - an object for imitation, so the Bunny a healthy body - all the parts are crammed. Bunny healthy and plump, as befits him in nature)))
- the head is not loose and not spinning, and tightly sewn to the body,
- the legs are sewn so that their mobility saved. can sit.
- the Bunny has fundamentally should not be in the nature of animals it is also there))). But then I couldn't resist and still made the Bunny dress)))
- the expression is normal - have eyes on the sides (they are not plastic, and tight balls of wool). Sutures on the face correspond to the location of the mouth and nose of a living rabbit.
In Waldorf toy, it is important that the doll's face (the snout of the animal) was unobtrusive, "unspecified", so highlight only the main features.

Bunny sewn from a gentle boiled 100% wool Italian knit with fine fuzz. In this work, no plastic, glue, wire.

Stuffing this Bunny - synthetic company Glorex (hypoallergenic) - not chosen by chance - is fully washable and dries quickly, keeping the shape of the parts of the toy. Does not leave a smell.
The wool in the stuffing, unfortunately, won't dry out so fast))

Dress for Bunny sewn from Italian textured cotton in blue, striped and from the Italian dark blue silk satin on my author's pattern. Since I love to combine stripes with flowers on the dress bloomed white and blue flowers. The buttons on the dress no, tied back in a bow. Dress is also designed in a simple style, which combines just two colors: harmonious and balanced.
How to keep: Bunny you can gently wash it manually (not in the washing machine) with warm water by means of wool/silk or just a delicious shampoo)))
Do not twist - just very wet in towel to remove excess moisture. Spread and dry on a towel, but not directly on the battery! Can be dried in the summer sun - even faster)))
I specifically checked fabric and filler - I did a test wash on a sewn sample. Everything turned out. The filler dries well.

Board washable in warm water by means of wool/silk or shampoo. Rinse, hang on the rack to drain water, ironed with steam.
