Jimmy Petit-Boni sleeps in a matchbox.

Be welcome to meet Jimmy Petit-Boni. This tiny ninja plush bunny was hand stitched and stuffed by me. He's made of chocolate brown felt, has camel beige mask and tail, red eyes, blue bow. He is so small, he sleeps in a mini matchbox, measuring 2 x 1.5 inch (5 x 4 cm).


The brown ninja plush bunny has no face yet. He's got no eyes and cannot see felt, thread and scissors I used to create Jimmy Petit-Boni.


Jimmy could also have been a ninja plush bunny girl. The bow makes the difference.


Jimmy has two sisters: Coco and Betty.



Thank you for your interest in my miniature work.

Coco Petit-Boni sleeps in a mini matchbox.

Be welcome to meet Coco Petit-Boni. She is the third member of the Petit-Boni family. She's made of baby blue felt, has white mask and tail, blue eyes, yellow bow. This tiny ninja plush bunny was hand stitched by me.



Coco Petit-Boni fits tight and sleeps (tight) in a mini matchbox, measuring 2 x 1.5 inch (5 x 4 cm). Painted in acrylic. Decorated with original drawings.




Take a look at her brother and sister:


Jimmy is a chocolate brown ninja boy; Betty is a butter yellow ninja girl.



I really enjoy hand stitching with felt. Hope you like my work.

Big Winter Bunny Girl and Small Hunter



My biggest fear as a drawer is self censorship. I would like to feel free for the rest of my life. And let the images coming -- as little surprises -- to my mind. Big Winter Bunny Girl and Small Hunter is about a weird erotic relation between a man (a very small man) and a girl (a very big girl). But the huge girl has nothing in her praying hands, while the mini man has a gun.

Le paysage nu.


Birches.


The hunter will soon be reduced.


Wrong face bunny girl in the sad forest decor.


This face will be pasted instead.


«You may have a gun but I'm far bigger than you.»



Big Winter Bunny Girl and Small Hunter was hand drawn by me with ink on paper, then photographed. Coloration was done with Photoshop. Thank you for your interest.

Betty Petit-Boni sleeps in a matchbox.



I like the idea that bunnies are girly and boyish at the same time. And a simple bow can change everything. I started a new series: Petit-Boni, sleeping in a matchbox.








I hand sew with felt. My bunnies fit tight in a small matchbox, measuring 2 x 1.5 inch (5 x 4 cm). Painted in acrylic. Decorated with original drawings. Signed.


Thank you for your interest in my work!

Each wire ring embraces one monster.

How to display my plushy work? I went to my first craft fair a few weeks ago, with 30 of my tiny mini monster plush. But I didn't figure how to present them. So I built 4 stands with iron wire, dived into pink styrofoam. Each wire ring embraces one monster. I think it's was smart idea; they were looking great.


Three little spy yetis surrounding the supplies I used.


Almost empty.


Filled with colorful cute little ones.



Here is a closer view of one of them. My Etsy shop - mimimatelot.etsy.com -- contains 20 tiny mini plushies just like this one. Be welcome to look at my work!

Happy Bunny Fan

Last spring, during hockey playoffs, I was with one of my best friends. We were going to a bar to see a hockey game (Montreal Canadiens vs Philadelphia Flyers -- we lost) on a big screen with beer. I told him I was to make an usual kind of sculpture: papier mâché bunny-sailors. My friend liked the idea and suddenly said:
- You should also make a Canadien fan bunny...
- Oh yes!


I drew this bunny a few months ago.




Tonight I photographed and colored the drawing with Photoshop. Thank you for your interest.

Beautiful bird died in my backyard last Monday.



Last Monday morning, my friend The Spanish Guy found this beautiful cardinal in my backyard, dead with open wings. Its head was buried in the snow.

Lundi matin dernier, mon ami Guy L'Espagnol a trouvé ce superbe cardinal mort dans ma cour, les ailes ouvertes. Sa tête était enterrée dans la neige.

Douze d'un coup. For twelve little girls from Quebec city, Canada.



My biggest custom order so far: Renée asked me to create twelve little plushies, dedicated to twelve little girls from Quebec city, Canada. What a fun request!

Now the twelve tiny creatures have a body. Although, their personality is not defined yet. They need to be identified with a unique: name, birth place, special sign, favorite meal, future profession. I think I'll ask soon my favorite Estonian baptizer to help me with this requisite step.

Soon. I mean before Christmas, of course.



Here is a closer view of one of them. We don't know anything about him, except that his temporary name is Number Two. Welcome.
