this original bunny rabbit painting is a textural, mixed media painting done on a piece of hand carved birch wood and framed in an antique handcrafted chunky wood frame that has been signed and dated. the maker's initials are F.H.B and the frame was created in November of 1908. the frame has gorgeous detail, including dark green stems and leaves, and red poppy flowers. the maker designed the frame as a fun, swooping, irregularly-shaped sculpture. you can tell a lot of love was poured into its creation!

pyrography, still around today, became a popular craft in the late 19th century (late 1800's) due to marketing of the craft in women's magazines and the introduction of mass-produced pyrography tools one could purchase in shops to try at home. this frame initially housed a photograph of this time period.

this is a continuation of the "objet d'art" series-the painting and the frame are considered a single piece of art, and the artwork was created for this particular frame. the frame has gorgeous age, patina and detail with an art nouveau aesthetic. the painting itself has been created to match the tones of the frame.

for the painting: materials are applied layer by layer and then allowed to dry before the next application. this gives the paintings a great amount of depth and detail. mixed media includes vintage postage stamps and paper from the 1800s, antique handwritten letter from the 1800s. i recommend displaying in indirect light to protect the artwork.

size is approximately 5" in width, and 9.5" in height. the painting is about 1" in depth. all of my paintings can be handled. they look great on their own, or buy a bunch and display them together!

the perfect gift for a bunny rabbit enthusiast, gardener, antique collector, poppy flower fan. great for a collector of the quaint and curious. an ideal addition to an antique filled space, cottage and/or a nature lover's home.
