This Week in Bookplates 5/17/2017

I have always wanted a rabbit bookplate so I asked Daniel Mitsui to

 create one for me  and track its progress from start to finish.

I am very pleased with this project and will get the bookplates printed as soon as I receive the completed art work -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes From Lew

A group of rabbits is known as a colony, or nest (and occasionally a warren, though this more commonly refers to where the rabbits live). A group of young rabbits with the same parentage is referred to as a litter, and a group of domestic rabbits is sometimes called a herd.

In 2011 I ran a three part series of blogs about Rabbit Bookplates

They still make me smile.

Rabbit Owner Nancy McClelland sent this additional information.

Cool.  I was told that a conglomeration of bunnies like the "Rabbit Island" pic can be called a Fluffle--sounded strange but appropriate to me.
Here are a few recent additions to my rabbit collection.
