Spring Rabbits




With Spring arriving I thought I would post a picture of a paper mache rabbit I made a few years ago. I love Easter decorations featured this time of year and anything decorated with bunnies and rabbits. This one isn't exactly an Easter themed rabbit, but with some pastel colors and accessories you can imagine how you might use the idea to create a holiday collection. This figure is made with celluclay which is really fun to sculpt with and it dries rock hard (I'm not kidding, you could bounce this off the sidewalk without breaking it). Most of the time I am making smaller pieces like jewelry, but once and awhile get a chance to make a larger piece like this.

Gingerbread House


This year Dan and the kids decided to make a gingerbread mansion. Every time you walk by you get to smell the spicy scent of ginger and cloves, a happy holiday smell. The project took several days worth of work, lots of candy and 2 bags of powdered sugar worth of icing. The stained glass windows are made from crushed up jolly rancher and butterscotch candies. The inside is wired (of course-Dan's engineering) with light bulbs that shine through the windows. This house got far more attention than our house did this year.
