When we first meet the Velveteen Rabbit, he's a beautiful, plush Christmas gift. He gradually deteriorates as the story progresses and eventually becomes old, raggedy and discarded. My goal was to present both of these aspects in a single image.

His left side shows the new toy...

with fluffy spots, pink ears and nose, carefully stitched seams and a tiny button-eye.

The right side shows his later appearance... drab and faded, haphazardly repaired and so sad that a single glass tear-drop is falling from his dulled eye.
