Carousel Rabbit Punch Needle

Hi Everyone,

The Rabbit Menagerie Figure.

Oh those colorful and magical Carousel days!  (Golden age 1840-1930).  Sad to think an old art form gone by. There are less than 200 left!

Carousels  (Italian - Carosello)  where first introduced to the USA in the early 1800's.  A beautiful era gone by.

 I decided to mix this era with an old Russian embroidery technique.  Here you see what was called the
Jumper.  He is the Carousel figure that has all four feet off the ground suspended through the air.  Thanks for looking,  Jana
