Not the same

 When we look at these two angora does, they look the same at first but there are subtle differences that tell us that they are different colors. Genetics of the angora rabbit are fascinating. Depending on the color and what is bred to another color, you can come up with quite an array of different colors. 

The rabbit on the left is a chestnut. If we look at her nose and up to the ears, you can see her coloring. Both their coats are somewhat alike but look at the rabbit on the right. She is what is called a chocolate tort. These come in many colors including blue tort, chocolate tort and black tort. 

These girls are growing quite nicely and are providing lots of good quality wool!

Victorian Cones

I have become a bit obsessed with making these Victorian Cones. Last Christmas I made them for everyone but kept exploring and as my friend Naomi says, I went down a rabbit hole! I have had so much fun exploring textures, colors, styles and the unlimited possibilities of what you can do. we will have them ready for fair season. Pricing is between $8 and $12 depending on the supplies and time it took to make it. I believe I'm up to over 60 made so far, they are so much fun to make. 

The Victorian era is filled with so much color, but often soft colors such as pink and mauves.

I found this fabulous music note ribbon and happened to have some music note card stock.

Black and silver gingham with a flying reindeer. I am onto making some great holiday ones too!

This is a fun cone but the ribbon was a bit pricey. These two colors go so well. I did add lavender tissue after the picture was taken.

A string of pearls for a paisley cone if i do say so myself.

This one is in the making. I'm looking for birch bark ribbon but so expensive online. It's going to brew while I think of something. I have a ton more to share but look for us at our fairs listed on the side bar. I's cone mania around here!
