manage their nest egg - an investment to treasure - Priceless Moments - ACEO Original Collage by Dragonhouseofyuen's Shop


Priceless and Evdokia were very careful about their resources. They saved in all areas. They managed their own nest egg. They invested in Sapphires, Diamonds and Emeralds – some as large as them! It was an investment to treasure. They kept them safe like the avocet in a small discreet nest and paid continual attention to it.

Horse Applique with Buttons and Ribbon on Tweed Fabric Brooch by Dragonhouseofyuen's Shop


The horse has a halter on and is waiting for his next adventure - where are we going? This is a beautiful brooch of a printed fabric horse on a cream upholstery material that has been padded slightly and machine stitched. Adornments have been added - 2 buttons and metal cap of sorts (recycled from something). They are stitched on top of a ribbon from the Australian jewellers store Hardy Brothers (nearly 20 years old!) and came from one of the artist's purchases there.

Baby Hare Snow Soft Sculpture by DragonHouseOfYuen


Please meet baby hare Snow, because no matter how cold your hands - there will always be a warm heart beating. She loves to play in the freshly fallen snow and ice. She prefers to perch on a shelf near an open window so that she can continue her winter sports quest. She is made of 100% recycled cotton and has a polyfill stuffing, along with a full stomach of dandelion leaves (only joking!). She stands approx 17cm high and 10cm wide. She comes with a small tag telling her story.

I’m eternally grateful! No matter what the weather he always spent time giving thanks. This little collage has been compiled from my illustrations of rabbits wearing jumpers, paper scraps and ephemera and recycled brochures and magazines. There is also a bit of silky material from a vintage scarf. Original ACEO collage. It has been signed on the back and dated. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.

It's Priceless and Evdokia - "you never know which letter will fit!" by dragonhouseofyuen



Priceless had seen an engagement ring so big that he knew would be perfect for Evdokia. One of life’s little luxuries, the type of ring you Want To Keep! So they went to the ring maker to get Evdokia’s size. Priceless sat inside the P but Oh dear! Evdokia got stuck in Size O. and no! she didn’t want to be ‘soaped up’, nor fast for a week. However the ring was very, very beautiful and just perfect for her.

Baby Hare Beauty Soft Sculpture by dragonhouseofyuen



Please meet baby hare Beauty. Beauty is a very shy little hare with big brown eyes. She rarely speaks to the others and quite often her face will feel very hot from her blushing. However, rather strangely she likes to roll around in the flowers. Not just a little flop – but a big stretch and slither over them with wiggling on her back too. She is usually covered in petals and pollen from whisker to tail. And much to her chagrin she attracts a lot of attention! Never-the-less to immerse herself in flowers is to find true happiness and freedom from her hot face flushes.

Beauty has been made with great care and she has safety eyes. She has been machine and hand sewn by me and will have many ‘unique’ (imperfect, handmade) bits. However, she is not recommended for children and is not a toy. She prefers to sit on a shelf next to fresh flowers, maybe with a mat underneath to catch the dropped petals and pollen spores.


Beauty is looking forward to her journey to her forever home! She also wants you to know that baby hares are called leverets. She comes with a small tag telling her story.

Wesley Rabbit Bag by dragonhouseofyuen




A beautiful handmade art-accessory bag of Wesley my albino lop rescue rabbit. He is wearing his favourite grizzly bears jumper with the North American brown bears. On one side is a raised padded applique of a grizzly bear profile with shiny golden safety eyes fixed into place under the applique. They catch the light wonderfully! On the other side is a detailed print of two very large brown bears standing in a prairie. If you lift the lop ear slightly you will see the face of the hiding bear - he is rather shy and has decided that Wesley's ear is the perfect place for concealment.

My ditty: "Hopping safely into spring after being rescued!"


I will donate 10% of the sale of this bag to The Rabbit and Guinea Pig Welfare - http://www.rngp.org/ This is the rescue, down in Rugby, England, that I travelled 600 miles to, so that I could bring my beautiful Wesley home. I wish all their rabbits and guinea pigs happiness and never ending love - and to find their forever home.

Priceless remembers from early beginnings as a small Little Seedling how much he has grown and learnt. His mother taught him so many things but most important of all, she taught him love. Priceless visits the swan family and is introduced to the new babies. This is their first day.

Looking for Love Look No More Original Watercolour Collage with Mandarin Ducks No2 by dragonhouseofyuen


This is an original piece of watercolour / mixed media / collage art.

This is a highly symbolic piece of art which will enhance your chances of love luck and relationship success. The mandarin ducks represent partners for life and fidelity. In Chinese tradition they are highly respected for symbols of a happy marriage. The Chinese character behind is called ‘double hey’ and is the character for double blessings and happiness

The collage painting promotes happiness and respect and hopefully this leads to peace!

I currently pledge 10% donation to specific charities from the sale of my Arabella Art-Accessory bags.
