When I saw the theme for this week I was a bit stuck, until I vaguely recalled something about a hare and the moon, so I did a bit of research. It turns out that the myth of the Moon gazing hare reflects ancient beliefs. Pagans believed that seeing a moon gazing hare would bring growth, re-birth, abundance, new beginnings and good fortune. The hare was sacred to the goddess Eostre and eventually became known as the Easter bunny. I had no idea!
I used watercolours on a plain white tag to create the background. I used some glitter and flowers to add a bit of sparkle. The 'hare' was originally a pink Easter Bunny sticker which I changed using a marker pen.
I've managed to catch up with this tag this weekend, and will actually be able to post my tag on the Tuesday! Yippee!!!
