Bunny Too
mixed media envelope

Frances loves bunnies, so decorating her mixed media mail with them is always, in my view, a plus. This is a rather Japanesey lot, for which I have f2tY's scraps from that country to thank.

Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone:

envelope back, with add'l doodling.

Oh well, how am I to learn when to stop adding stuff if I don't overshoot? —To be fair, that pink bunny doodle on the right edge doesn't really blend real well with the rest of piece, so I was trying to reduce its sticking out by overdrawing with the black flower doodles; they also had the effect taking the black printing on the pink paper, which was also a bit contrasty.

A better, if more time-consuming solution would have been to put a semi-opaque pale pink or white wash of acrylic paint over the black printing & fuchsia bunny doodle, which would have more effectively blended them with the rest of the collage.
