Mixed Media Rabbit & Cat

I dreamt about claying last night . In my dream I made lots and lots of pretty hearts for Valentine's Day.

So after I had my coffee, checked my email, checked for new posts on Polymer Clay Central, checked for new items on Flickr .... did a few chores... this is my morning routine.... I headed back to the clay room to play with clay.  I was there to make hearts,  but then I saw my nekkid wire bunny and kitty, they really needed to be finished.  I get side tracked so easily.... so, no hearts today... but I did make these.

Another funny bunny

and his kitty friend

Tomorrow I will add pin backs on my critters and then I am going make hearts.... lots and lots of  hearts..... really .... you believe me don't you? 

My Funny Bunnies Polymer Clay & Wire

I fully intended to decorate more ornaments but I got sidetracked with my Funny Bunnies.... they are more fun and don't give me fits .... I'll try ornaments again later.... maybe.

For the bunnies I make the wire frames first and then back them with clay.  Parawire had a new color of wire, Rose Gold, that is the primary color for the first bunny.

Here he is before I added the clay background.

Once I added the clay I took his picture with some of my clowns, isn't he a cutie?

Here is a close up

I used copper and orange wire for the second Funny Bunny 

and then used clay scraps from the first bunny to swirl the background. I painted him with PearlEx to get the shine.

Next I made a floppy eared bunny. This time I used brown and magenta wire. 

I haven't backed him yet.... I know he looks a little chilly but he will have to remain naked until after I bake my Christmas cookie. I have my dough chilling in the fridge. I hope to get some of them baked this evening. 

See ya later.
