Rabbit Rabbit (on a Rake)

"Why are the bunnies sitting on a rake?" Josie asked, and I told her that those were the roots of a stylized tree, as pictured on a tile from Rookwood Pottery.  

                                                                                     

This little (6x6) tile has fascinated me ever since it first appeared on my Facebook feed. It's so peaceful and balanced. And since I did click on it to find out the price ($139.00 plus shipping,) it continues to pop up to try to tempt me.

But even if I needed yet another tschotchke, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on it. 

So I scratched the itch by painting my own version of the two bunnies on the rake.

The handle is wood, so I guess it's possible that it could sprout leaves and flowers. Josie has a sharp eye. I can see why you like this charming image so much.

I definitely like your version...stylized is a great term!

Well done, Josie’s question was observant of her. ❤️

I had to look back closely to see that it was a rake.
Planning to try your roasted chickpea thai recipe tonight but using 1% milk instead of coconut as I don't have any of the latter.
