Rabbit

This small plate is my third piece that involves a rabbit. I borrowed a small ceramic rabbit along with a clam from my younger sister who kept it in a box of treasure from our childhood. This little bunny is painted blue and has inspired me to paint my rabbits blue. 

I've collected some brownstone pieces from this past week's demos. One is the candle holder you see below. The holes remind me of the kale plants sacrificed to the hungry and growing gang of grasshoppers in the garden. They leave only the stalks and veins. We've constructed a haphazard bug net that if I get the gumption, use to catch and feed these hoppers to the hens. The chickens are enjoying the summer weather with the watermelon and cantaloupe rinds, japanese beetles and grasshoppers.
