I found this wonderful old footstool in Cerne Abbas and thought it would make a lovely project and visualised a rabbit reclining on it! The rabbit is positioned at the back so that it can still be used as a footstool - or a seat for a small child. I imagine my father would have loved to have had this as a footstool!
The old and worn embroidered cover, horse hair stuffing and hundreds of metal tacks were removed, leaving just the beautiful wood frame. My friend Dottie then showed me how to reupholster the stool, adding webbing and more modern stuffing.
I attached a wire armature to the frame for the rabbit - in such as way as there are no sharp ends, only loops. I then wet-felted wool in shades of green to make a fabric cover which I fixed to the stool, adding a crocheted chain as decoration.
The rabbit was then needlefelted over the armature and also felted to the cover. Carrots were added on one corner as a final touch.
