I started painting on "Hopper" the Pumpkin Bunny yesterday and have a lot of work left to do in paint, but he made me giggle so I thought I would throw out a shot of him today to let you see how he is coming along. "Hopper" is one of several pumpkin bunnies that are enlisted annually to assist the Easter Bunny in preparing and delivering Easter treats. Unlike Santa's elves that we are all familiar with, the pumpkin bunnies have been left out of the story of Easter. (But as we all know there is no way a single bunny could do at Easter what Santa can't do by himself at Christmas, the story just hasn't been written yet.)
The pumpkins disguise themselves as bunny rabbits by wearing bunny ears, painting their noses and wearing bunny teeth, plus putting on pastel garments to cover their pumpkin torsos. Because they learned to wear costumes at Halloween, they are all very comfortable dressing up and pretending to be something they really aren't. They look very angelic, but I must warn you that on
occasion a bit of the "Halloween" pops out in their personality and they have been known to leave a rotten egg or two to a deserving human.
Hope you like Hopper and have a great day creating!!!
Laurie
