A fat juicy marrow lays in the warmth of the summer sun. Warm to the touch its flowers bloom and leaves strive to new heights. Amongst its stems a rabbit pushes its way through the leaves and happens upon a plump, fleshy marrow, ready for the taking.

A number of techniques and mediums were used in the creation of this piece. The background is fabric painted and the rabbit and marrow, flower and leaves were achieved through quilting, appliqué, painting and embroidery. These techniques create the different textures from the soft fur of the rabbit to the fleshy marrow. Unfortunately, the three-dimensional relief doesn't show particularly well in the photos, so please take a look at the depth of the piece to get an idea of the overall effect.
