Egg shell and polymer clay decorated easter bunny. The decoration is a blue and black and white cane. The egg was covered in white and translucent polymer clay (with just a pinch of red) and so was a wooden bead. The covered bead (before curing) was attached to the body with a collar of clay. After curing, the haunches and front legs were added and the nose part of the face was added to the bead-body form. The ears were made of rolled clay, but a hole was drilled into the place where i wanted the ears to go and a piece of tooth pick inserted into the center of the ear and then fixed into the hole i drilled… so there was toothpick extending into the ear (but covered up) and into the head, packed round with same color polymer clay. With the ears nose and limbs added I positioned this rabbit in the oven so there would be no stress on the ears…. after curing they were fine.
I used a blue and black and white cane of a single geometric flower to put rabbit’s clothes on. This little piece took a lot of sanding.
I made a little grass stand. and an easter egg. (i forgot that i put the eyes in when i put the cane on the body. Eyes do have a little tiny bit of varathane…. I probably should have varathaned his blue egg as well.
