Porcelain bunny's

I did several sketches for outdoor porcelain bunny's and these two I colored for production. They will be sculpted and cast in porcelain and produced as candy containers.

Bunny Family

Here is the "Bunny Family". They will be developed into several applications: Paper pulp figures mounted on a small wooden box with a drawer and sold as a candy box. They will also be porcelain candy containers and metal garden stakes.

The Island of Misfit Drawings

For every image that's approved for production, there are dozens of drawings that get the "X" for one reason or another. I could easily wallpaper my house with the collection of rejected drawings I have. Some of them resurface years later, reworked or otherwise but most remain on the island of misfit drawings.

Here are some that did not make it to Easter production.

"Duck Pull Toy" will be a pull toy cast in resin and made with movable parts.
