i am a maker.
i sit in a small room surrounded by paper people and creatures....

sometimes i let them go.
to good homes only..

each of the curious items you will see here are original and one off

they have been made using old, torn, reclaimed and beautiful papers and cloth with the odd item of old, found treasure....

pocket...


if he thinks really hard and really far back he can remember his first home...

it was in a small boys pocket...

it was dark. often smelly and he was frequently jostling for space with many an odd treasure....
on more than one occasion he only narrowly missed the horror of a full wash cycle...

but on one slightly overcast grey day a most marvellous thing happened..
upon this day small boy was to be found desperately trying to fit a paper aeroplane in to rabbits already full pocket
and then it happened...
freedom
a fall to the green green grass below....

for you see the small boy was in a hurry to get back on the bike he had *borrowed* from his friend so he did not notice pockets fate...

he lay fearlessly for many days and long dark nights until he was found....

......and that was how pocket rabbit came to be sat upon a curious paper makers work table

a little broken
a little dented
but happy

the paper maker spent many a day just allowing pocket to rest and observe his surroundings, to take in his freedom, to fully accept that a brand new life was about to start..

and then.....

a waistcoat was fashioned
a jaunty bow was made
and a suitable perch for an extra special fella was found..

pocket was happy

{{ the details }}

pocket is made entirely from paper and is sealed to protect him from damp and dust and the contents of a small persons pocket if this fate is set to fall upon him once more...

his waistcoat is hand stitched from a very old piece of precious cloth and has been finished with a sparkly button that will forever shine as brightly as pockets little rescued paper soul...

his dickie bow is made from liberty fabric..

his perch is a lucky find from one of my treasure hunting adventures...

pocket upon his perch is approx 23cm high

pocket will arrive in a presentation box so would make a rather fine gift for a rabbit fan :)

he is £58 which includes U.K postage
please message me for overseas postage quotes

thank you for reading pockets tale......
