As you know, when I'm working in Bunnyville, I normally listen to music. Sometimes though I like to listen to inspiring stories about artists. I do love to hear how their dreams and visions came to be. It's quite fascinating.
I have been a HUGE fan of Salley Mavor's work for a long time. I own several of her books and will be purchasing her new book when it comes out next year.
She is also someone I hope to meet in person one day. I don't know her and she doesn't know me, but I am drawn to her incredible work and her warm and kind smile.
Plus, she likes making rabbits! You know she has to be a great lady if she makes rabbits! hee,hee,hee ;)
Salley creates images she calls Fabric Relief. Every piece is stitched completely by hand and framed.
She uses these pieces to write children's books. I think they are so wonderful. Oh how fun it would be to attend this lecture!
This is a video of Salley's "Rabbitat." I know you will enjoy seeing it and hearing about her creative journey as much as I have.
Hop over to her website when you are done and pay her a visit. You will certainly be glad you did.
xx,
Michelle and the Bunnies

Another artist I adore, with her wonderful tiny creations!
This was amazing! Thank you for introducing her to us. You have to meet her some day...I think you may be kindred spirits!
Oh my word....there are so many artists out there, I can see now that I would never have had a chance to get my work rolling! But I LOVE and appreciate the hard work all of you put into delivering the most enchanting art, Michelle. Her rabbits are OUTRAGEOUSLY CUTE! And a good morning to you with a warm hug! LOVE! Anita

Thanks for the review of her books and work.
Thank you for introducing us to this talented woman!
Michelle - you'll just have to come up to New England and visit - she's "on the Cape" (a/k/a Cape Cod) and often has shows and/or lectures. Let us know if you ever decide to make the trip - you have a lot of fans who would love to meet you!
I took a class from her in Atlanta many years ago and have always been a big fan. And she is the nicest person you'll ever meet!
