Out To Dry
This is my youngest daughter’s toy rabbit, “Spike”. She won’t go to sleep without him and she always sucks her thumb while stroking his silky washing instructions label with her forefinger. She wore the original label away and we had to sew another one on! Needless to say Spike gets very smelly and needs washing regularly!
Out To Dry belongs to the following groups:

Great shot Bruce. My daughter has a similar toy which she still has and is hidden in a cupboard in her flat, she’s now 18. Sounds weird I know but I guess no matter how old we get, we still keep hold of childhood toys. I love the selective bw/colour treatment.
Nicole Goggins, 9 months ago
