I was making a design for the McDonalds house up in London, just trying a few things.
The large rabbit was inspired from Kevin's 6ft plus rabbit he posted a few days ago,

The basket, I love the basket. I free styled it and if you have not guessed I looove the way it turned out.

Thanks, I must admit it did really look nice, what made is pleasing was the only idea I had for it before
I started was the underneath to go from a 6 to 12 spoke weave.

I did not takie any pictures as I was building this , just the finished sculptures.
This was heavily influenced from Kevin's six foot bunny that he posted a few days back,
Thanks Kevin.

Trying to get the cross weave sitting flat is one I think I will not try again.

One bubble did go down  :(

Amazing Basket Graham, the rabbit takes it away a bit, would not be my first choice of rabbit for that build TBA. :)

I take your point Kenny.
What one needs to take into account is that I do this as a goodwill gesture and I decided to experiment a little
with all the designs I make for the venue.

And its well appreciated Graham, i have always been a fan of your designs, you have a mechanical way of sculpting, with that added artistic flair and a master of your trade!! ;) I hope you don't feel i was being picky!! ;)

I am always questioning my art over the past few years, pointing out things that i could improve, to be honest i am never happy with my end results lately, i guess i have become too picky on the end result. Most of the time if it does not look right to me, i just won't make it. Lol is this what long term balloon use does to one!? :D

I like the way you question things Kenny, would be a sad dull old world if the same thing rocked all our boats.

As I post quite a lot about it's about being pleasing to my eye, the basket I thought was absolutely fabulous, I really liked it.
The rabbit face at first I hated, then over the day it grew on me, one should try different things.

The rabbit was way too small for the basket I made, that is why I put him sitting on the round balloons,
made it more in proportion.

That was it Kenny, that was the big'ish build complete.
 I only took pictures of it completed and not as I was building it.
There was another part I built, the grass and a few rabbit's.
