Skelly Bunny

I was able to put the finishing touches on another figure yesterday for the upcoming SpookyTime Jingles' pages...this is my first ever Skelly Bunny. I just knew that the Skelly boys would not let the Pumpkin boys get by doing anything without a little mimicking going on so I put bunny slippers and ears on a Skelly figure wearing a bow tie. I hadn't made a figure this year in bunny slippers, which I dearly love, so I thought I would put some on this little Skelly to show you how they lounge after a hard day of working for the Easter Rabbit.


You see, the Easter Rabbit has to keep a sharp eye on the Pumpkin Bunnies, and now the Skelly Bunny, because they can be naughty and put unpleasant things in his Easter confections. Because of that concern, the Skelly and Pumpkin helpers are primarily in the delivery end of things so they have lots of walking as part of their daily job responsibilities as Easter approaches. When Skelly Bunny gets home he loves to kick off his boots and don his bunny slippers...bunny slippers always feel so good at the end of the day!!

Hope you like the new little fellow!

Have a great weekend and happy creating!

The Pumpkin Bunnies are Coming!!

I told you last month that there were a number of Pumpkin Bunnies that helped the Easter Rabbit with delivery of all of the lovely confections we loved as children (and some of us still love as adults) on Easter morning. Here are two more of the sweet little fellows that will be coming up on SpookyTime Jingles in February. I realize they don't look like much without paint, and their Easter baskets aren't shown with them in these photos, but I think it is fun to share part of the process with you coming out of my strange little mind.


These two boys are twins, Jake and Jack, one being left-handed and the other right-handed. As they have gotten older and developed their individual personalities they prefer not to dress identically, so Jake curled the tip of one bunny ear on his headband down, and you will also notice he has larger hands and arms...he goes to the gym. I'm planning on painting them in similar palettes, but they won't be painted the same as I am honoring their request. (Just teasing!)
Since they are Easter/Halloween crossover pieces they will be in pastels.


Jack holding an egg in his left hand and his basket will be hanging from his right hand.

Grinning Jake holds his egg in his right hand and his basket will be hanging from his left hand. Both figures are 16" tall to the tip of their highest ear.

The pieces will be listed individually so if someone chooses to adopt one pumpkin bunny and not the other they can do so.

Hope you enjoyed the peek!! Have a great day and happy creating!

Back to Work!!

Back to work today!! I feel like I fell off of the planet last week, but totally enjoyed being warm and recharging my batteries in the New Mexico and Arizona sunshine ... reality, however, has set in and it is time to mix clay and get my fingers pushing and pulling the surface to make some new pieces. I have plenty of new work to begin and need to finish the WIPs below so instead of just talking about working I need to get it done.

Do any of the rest of you have difficulty getting your engine started after taking a break? I feel like I need someone to turn the key to get me going so I had better close this post and mix the clay NOW!!!

Have a great day and happy creating!
