I wasn't a happy bunny yesterday. It's not like me and if I'm not careful I can end up getting a migraine and I sometimes think my whole life revolves around avoiding those dreadful things - so quick action was needed. What can I draw? Well, a happy bunny of course! After I had read a few of the EDMers blogs, one of the most popular resolutions is to do a drawing a day. I know I can't manage one every day but I resolved to get the drawing finished and I managed to kill two birds with one stone - I did this quick little drawing in that precious drawing book I mentioned before. Hopefully I've broken the curse! I started it in 1997 and it contained all of 3 drawings before I started the hand (in the last post). Perfection is certainly paralysing. I suspect, like alcoholism, it's not something that is cured but needs constant guarding against.
I'm happier having gone 'no mail' on one particular art quilter's chat group. I thought with all the top names in quilting there would be a certain standard there but it reminded me of a bun fight. On closer inspection it's much worse than that. (To be fair, it's probably a few giving the many a bad name). I hope it's not representative of the state of the quilt art world today.

This IS a happy bunny! And looks great! I hope today is a happy and sketching one for you!
Oh Felicity, this is adorable. You drawings are so wonderful, hope you do do more. Love looking at them.
Hurray for going no mail! EDM is much more supportive.
And I love your happy bunny. As usual it's wonderful.
When I told my DD about what happened to casue upset yesterday, she said "that's not possible, all quilters are fluffy people aren't they?" Apparently not, alas! Glad you're a happy bunny as well as this little chap. He's totally gorgeous!
We have been truly BLESSED that the EDM group has never had any kind of flame war like the kind I'm imagining you saw on your other group. Yuk. I'm glad your happy bunny made you feel better -- it certainly made me grin!
Hi Felicity, I left that group over 6 months ago for similar reasons. And haven't missed it one little bit.
Cheers
Claire
