And away they marched last week…
After five weeks of fairly intensive work, making, painting, more painting and about twenty layers of varnish, Nuk Nuk and the Fairy (titled: Midnight Rambles) were ready to go: Back to the Jack and Jill Foundation’s “Hares on the March” initiative; awaiting exhibition and hopefully a new home!
This was my design:
And this was the final, finished piece (not too far from the design):
“Midnight Rambles”
Despite several near-heart-attacks when things didn’t go quite to plan, it was hugely enjoyable; I finished (on time- whew) and handed Nuk Nuk over the the UPS delivery man (all the UPS drivers were delivering and collecting the hares in their own voluntary time- thanks to them!)
Looking forward to the exhibition of all 100+ Hares in Dublin in March- I will keep you posted!
So wonderful, congrats, Emily!
So beautiful. I love the details – the reflection in the eye is amazing, and the way you used the planes of the hare so that the vertical house and tree have horizontal “land” in front of them… Just amazing. You are so talented, Emily. Congratulations on such an achievement.
Thanks Christine 🙂
Thanks Nuala! xxx
My God Emily, that is fabulous! you are certainly one talented lady.
Nuk Nuk is breathtaking, Emily! I loved your original design on paper but the 3D finished product is in a league of its own. I am in awe of your talent.
Ah thanks Joanna! I have my moments 😀
Thank you Fionnuala 🙂
Emily, Nuk Nuk is absolutely stunning. So utterly magical. You are incredible.
