Trick or Treat?

Who says a hare can’t go trick or treating?

 

Especially if he gets carrots in his pumpkin bucket!

While I was working on Tweed I kept thinking of a memory I had of my daughter at 

Halloween when she was around 9 or 10. 

 I made a rabbit costume by using a white sheet to make her

 a sack like dress, and a mask for her face. 

It was a great face with pink and white felt stitched on the white

 with big ears and whiskers, but the ears were so floppy! 

I didn’t know then what to do to make them stand up

 so she spent the whole night holding up her ears 

while carrying a pumpkin bucket and treating for candy. 

Trickster doesn’t have to hold up his ears 

and he not only has carrots in his pumpkin bucket 

but a carrot necklace too! 

He is entirely made with my hand dyed wool fabric and a mohair tail. 

He was great fun to make while remembering my little girl who is all grown up now.

I know this won’t make up for your night of ear holding misery Jess, 

but maybe you will get a laugh out of Trickster!
