lapin, lapin, lapin: year of the RABBIT


(pottery by Gary Rith)
You hear that in a week or 2 it is the Chinese Year of the Rabbit. Does not mean a whole lot to me, except for the fact that with year of the Pig a few years ago, I sold a boatload of piggy pots all winter long. That was cool with me, and so I set out to do the same, with bunnies, which have the extra appeal of Easter later on. These cute bowls just outta the kiln. I am bad though, already bored with bunnies, back to skulls and other projects :)
I absolutely love Wallace and Gromit. They use a clay like material in making their movies, and this sculptor shows how they make their bunnies.

    Thanks for the bunny video, that was cute! I love Wallace and Gromit. I can't even begin to imagine how much work it takes to make all the critters for those movies.. and then all the tweaking to make them move!

    My mom said today: "I like Gary's bunny pots."
    I hadn't been to all my daily internet stops yet so I didn't know it was bunny day. I thought it was just a random declaration of loving your bunny pottery. She read your blog before I did! HAHA!

    Super cute bunnies. Of course!
