A professional graphic designer who uses her background in art history and restoration to create everyday objects you can enjoy in your home or as wearable art. It's a joy to bring the best art and design of ages past into everyday life, plus invitations and DIY party projects. If you don't already share my love for artists and illustrators such as Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Beatrix Potter, Carl Larsson and John Tenniel, perhaps you'll discover a new enthusiasm.

Beatrix Potter Bunny Rabbit Drinking Tea Apron

Beatrix Potter Bunny Rabbit Drinking Tea Apron

The Little Bunny Drinking Tea by Beatrix Potter

A darling Beatrix Potter apron perfect for craft time or painting -- or for "helping" with the cooking, cleaning and gardening. Also available in adult sizes for those bunny-lovers among us who are still children at heart. (A mother-daughter or grandmother-granddaughter set would be precious!)

Description: A proper little girl rabbit with a pink ribbon tied around her neck in a pretty bow daintily sips her tea from a china teacup. On the tile floor in front of her is the tea set, including teapot, sugar bowl, sugar tongs, milk pitcher and more teacups, tea spoons resting on the saucers. Perhaps there is to be a tea party. Signed at lower right with the artist's initials.

Please see my gallery's Beatrix Potter Collection for matching items, including fabulous DIY party projects.

About the original work of art:
Artist:Beatrix Potter
Title: The Little Bunny Drinking Tea
Date: Probably 1890s.
Medium and substrate: Ink and watercolor on paper.

While this painting never appeared in any of Beatrix Potter's books, it is one of her most delightful watercolors and highly finished.
