Rabbits!


This is my entry for the challenge at Gothic Arches this week which is 'Vernal Equinox'.

The Vernal (or Spring) Equinox is the time of year when day and night are of equal length and rabbits are one of the symbols of spring and Easter so I thought I'd have a go at doing a little art work of my own to represent the equality of day & night.

I'm afraid my rabbits look rather like something out of a horror movie 'The revenge of the Vampire Bunnies' maybe?

I coloured my drawing with watercolours and metallic pens and added sun and moon charms from my stash to finish it off.

    What a creative, gorgeous arch! I love all your personal touches. (Rabbits are persona non grata in Australia. They were introduced by early settlers and they quickly took over the continent).

    Your day and night bunnies are so wonderful - a very creative use of Equinox! Very cute drawings as well... perhaps we shall see some in our garden!
