Year of the Rabbit

3 feb 2011
Today the year of the rabbit starts according to the Chinese calender.

I always liked rabbits, I had some when I was a kid, the big Flemish ones I remember best. I started collecting sculptures of rabbits when I was a kid and kept collecting till my early twenties. If I'd go somewhere I'd look for a rabbit to add to my collection. Most are stacked way in a box at my parents house, but some have made it to my current home:

Now I can make my own rabbits and I do in clay and porcelain and I bet it want be long until I will come up with a silver rabbit too. Their are more people on etsy with a love for rabbits, here a curious collection:

Happy New Year!
