The stores seem to have Easter items out already. It's still a little early for my decorations to be put up at my house. To keep me happy until I start decorating, I created this cute bunny display out of Creative Paperclay®.
Look at all the eggs she has gathered to color. She looks so cute resting on a comfy pillow in her half egg shell chair ready to munch on a carrot.

2. Smooth paperclay around one half of the egg.

5. When dry remove from the paper mache' form.
6. Paint your shell the color of your choice.

2. Paint to match your egg color.
3.Glue the painted base to the shell.
The Bunny
1. Take a piece of foil and form it into an egg shape forthe bunnies body.
2. Use foil to form an smaller egg shape for the head.
3. Cover both with paperclay and smooth.
4. Roll out a clay rope.
5. Wrap the clay rope around the bottom of the head.
6. Attach the head to the body smoothing the clay to form it into 1 piece.
7. Take two pieces of clay and attach to the head for ears.
8. Make 3 small balls 1 for the nose and 2 for the bunny cheek jowls and attach to head.
9. Cute 4 small pieces of 20 gauge wire and insert them into the cheek jowls.
The Pillow and the Carrot

3. Let dry and paint.
4. Attach buttons to all 4 corners.
5. Turn the Pillow over and glue Easter grass to the bottom edges of the pillow.

7. Glue the pillow into the shell, glue the bunny on and then the carrot.
8. Add any other miniatures you would like. I added the basket and the bees.
I created an Easter scene using a scalloped edge charger, Easter grass, little fuzzy chicks, and speckled chocolate eggs.

I have been creating art for as long as
I can remember. I studied graphic design in Portland, Oregon before
moving to Denton, Texas and putting all my focus on creating mixed
media art. In addition to being on the Creative Paperclay design
team, I am a contributor for the Robin's Nest Design Team, an article
writer for Mixed Media Art, and a blogger for DecoArt.
I strongly believe in giving back. I
volunteer at Scrap Denton Creative Reuse Center where I teach
workshops, art camps, and perform art demos. I am very passionate
about mixed media art and enjoy helping and watching others discover
their creativity.
