It's official!

The Sleepy Little Bunny run has now been released! There are only four in this batch but many more coming very soon! Each are made of fine porcelain and measure approx. 1" in length. Feel free to head on over to the BUNNY LINK if you are curious to learn more!

Have a great weekend everyone!

#2 "Lily"

One Little, Two Little....

Tryin' out the china cabinet

"One little, two little, three little ratties..."

Actually, there are five ratties total that are finished right now. I'm currently waiting (very anxiously I might add) for shipping boxes and a couple of other COA items to arrive at the studio in order to present the public with these finished creations. Hopefully, my orders will arrive this week. I'm on the edge of my seat.

Of course, while waiting I've been creating and have had great fun trying to pick out colors for the little Sleepy Bunny run. I decided to produce the run in fine English porcelain. I know it shrinks them down considerably, but they are so much more durable in porcelain and there is that love affair I have with the porcelain.

Start of the bunny conga

It's so creamy and lovely especially on the bunnies who have white showing. What has truly happened to these guys (and gals) is that they have now sorta become like little worry stones. You can hold them nicely in the hand and you can carry them around without worrying they will be broken or destroyed. I have all four hangin' out on my laptop as I check in with you all today. They are totally chasin' those Monday blues away. Too sweet.

New Life!

Sleepy Little Bunny

There is nothing as beautiful and precious as new life! I want to send out a very hearty congratulations today to our cousins Jane and Kevin on the birth of their second son Luke. He is finally here and we all can't wait to meet our new little cousin!!!!

CONGRATS GUYS!!!!!!!

So snug

Speaking of new life I guess I've had babies on the brain. I took my son to him the Museum of Natural History yesterday for the first time. He is no longer a toddler, but a little boy able to appreciate the dinosaurs and the displays and I was taken back by the fact that those baby days are truly gone. As my son is getting older now I find myself reminiscing all those days changing diapers and cooing. What an opportunity God has given me. It has been truly and utterly beautiful. It is hard to believe it has been almost four years since his birth.

I guess it's no surprise with all this new life thinking that some of that has filtered into two new sculptures I am working on. I wanted to share them with you. Both have been made for the "Sleepy" line I started with "Sleepy Little Mouse". The first I am calling "Sleepy Little Bunny" and he is just a little squirt of a thing that can be held in the hand. I have a few more adjustments on him and then I'll start making him in earthenware and painting them up. I think that I need to freshen up on bunny colors!

"Sleep Little Puppy" too sleepy
to hold his head up

"Sleepy Little Puppy" is a pudge!

"Sleepy Little Puppy" from the top

The second sculpture came out of no where. I normally don't have puppies on the brain but this image flashed into my head when I grabbed a clump of wax and one thing led to another which led to another baby sculpt. This is "Sleepy Little Puppy". No special breed. Your typical mushy, playful mutt. The round thing in front of him is a ball.
