Laurie Hardin: Skelly Bunny

Monkey-Cats Studio

These are the reason for "Monkey-Cats" Studio receiving the name. Pretty cute when they were kittens but they are now 9 years old, still think they are kittens and try to fit in the same spaces on my studio table. For some reason these two have very long tails like a monkey and received the nickname monkey boys from my husband. We are sure they can swing upside down by those tails! Their real names are Jake and Elwood, after the Blues Brothers, because they try to do the right thing but they are just naughty.

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!
Laurie

Cassie said...: OH, you should definitely make little tags for the Skelly Bunnies! You could put their story on the back of them. Thanks for stopping by again, and commenting on last weeks tag. I'm getting ready to put another one up tomorrow. I'm still waiting for the glue to dry so I can finish assembling it! I hope that your weekend is going great!; January 31, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Monkey-Cats Studio said...: Thanks Marie!! You have to love a pair of bunny slippers.

Sonia, Lamb slippers fit your little sheep figures you have been making. I think I just found out a subject-matter that you love!

Thanks CK...I think the slippers are a girlie thing!! HA

Cassie,
I think you might be right!! I need to make tags for both the Pumpkin Bunnies and the Skelly bunny in regard to their relationship with the Easter Rabbit. Fact or Fiction...we may never know.

Have a great Sunday everyone and thanks for stopping by!!
