PLEASE NOTE: this signed, limited edition Art print is in my 'seconds' sale as it used to be mounted and so has marks from tape on the back of it (it is not sticky though, and it is totally flat). The picture is in tact! A part of the top of the white border around it (the picture is set in a white border) is slightly discoloured, but will easily be covered by a mount.

I created this piece using chalk pastels and pencils, cutting and collaging the drawings together for more impact. It illustrates is a scene from the classic "The Velveteen Rabbit" story by Margery Williams, which was set in the 1920's. The 'modern' mechanical toys make the little rabbit feel very unwelcome in the nursery. The lighting and the curtain are very theatrical, as is the dramatic crop of the image.
"The mechanical toys were very superior, and looked down upon everyone else; they were full of modern ideas, and pretended they were real."
