The Bunny Bowl is Done!!

Well, the Bunny Bowl is painted and getting ready to take a journey to his new owner. I must confess, I learned a lot while sculpting and painting this piece. He was work, but so much of it was just trying to figure out how things would work in this shape. I now have lots of ideas for Halloween so I think my husband gets the next bowl to give out his Halloween treats to the Trick-or-Treaters this fall. He doesn't ask me to keep many pieces, but he looked at this one a lot and commented to me about it as I was working so I'm taking that as a sign.


I think he will be funny with eggs surrounding his little body and only his arms and feet showing in the bowl. Bunny with attitude!


Hope you like him!
Have a great day and happy creating!
Laurie

Love this bowl! Would be so cool if it where filled with clear glass eggs. All pastels. DREAMY! Makes me want to eat it up!!!

Johanna Parker said...

What a sweet bowl Laurie!.... I can relate to the challenge of covering and sculpting a bowl in papier mache ~ it takes patience!!.... A very lucky collector out there will certainly treasure it.....

Oh thank you everyone!!

CK...I thought of the patience you have to have in all of your intricate pieces as I was working on this bowl!!

Debbie, I have to let them go or I would have to go back to a "job"...this is my joy and I'd like to stay here so off they go to a collector!

Kim, Here is hoping for stimulus checks!!!

Diana, I think a nice skelly figure is in line for the next bowl. I'll post in the future!

Janell, I put some porcelain eggs in it and it didn't do a thing so maybe glass eggs would be the ticket! I'll let Kristin know!
Thanks!

Johanna, Oh how I know you understand the bowl aspect. The concave surface is a challenge!

Monica, The Halloween bowl will be bigger according to the prospective owner...my husband! I guess he wants to make sure it holds all of the candy he gives away!!

Sonia, You are too funny!!! Thanks for stopping by and I hope your allergies are better!

Hey Candy!!! Oh, I am so glad you like him. Hubby I think is excited about getting his Halloween bowl!

Again, Thank You ALL!!!!!
Laurie
