The Snow Thing

February 27th, 2010

Yeah.

I was all excited to build a snow bunny today. Wouldn’t that just be so much fun?

What I had in mind:

What I made:

I’ll take questions now.

Stumble it!

I have to say it’s unique. It must not be from around here.

In my part of Australia, Victoria, most of the state never, ever, gets snow. In spite of my adoration for snow, I think I can be pretty objective here.

Your choice of colouring – food colouring I’m assuming? – kind of makes the bunny look like it’s been bleeding… a lot. And it scares me. It’s toothy grin, so reminiscent of the Cheshire Cat, also scares me. The fact that it doesn’t have snow ears but Micky Mouse headband ears, PUSHED INTO IT’S HEAD, also scares me… a lot. The rest of it’s facial features, all black and shiny and beady, also scares me. The scarf is kind of cute though. >^-^<

So has Mother Nature put the poor thing out of its misery and let the sun’s heat melt it away into a pool of pink goo?

I must admit though, it does look happy… in a wierd strained sort of way.

You know how there is always that one random pile of snow that just never seems to melt or go away long after all other snow has melted?

…..this will be it.

I don’t feel the need to make snowmen anymore. I have snowdogs. You can click here to see Beau Beau!

How’d it get pink? Were you taking that medicine for urinary tract infections that makes your pee pink or did you just dump a Slushee on it?

Um….I am speechless.

I think the best part is the paper mouth. I guess natural organic materials such as sticks and leaves and other “organic matter” couldn’t properly express the right toothy grin.

Have you ever read the Calvin & Hobbes comics where he’s building armies of funny, odd, or grotesque snow men? My favorite comics ever – and I always find myself shooting for the moon to replicate them and it just never works…

Hi, guys! Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for all the comments and give you an update on Snow Thing. The head has melted off completely. The ears were laying near the bottom blob, wishing no doubt, that it had a head to rest upon.

I’m out of commission a bit, taking care of one of our kittehs who had dental surgery this week. He’s none too pleased and if I’m not careful, I”m pretty sure he’s going to lay on my face and smother me to death for what we’ve put him through. So if you don’t hear from me for a while, blame the cat.

Haha. I saw the first picture and thought I was onto a true sculptor here. I was very jealous!!! Then I scrolled down a bit and just exploded in laughter. This is far closer to my own talents at least, so I feel a bit better 😉

Hi Kathy,
Hope your kitten is doing well.
LOVE your pink SNOW THING. And I’m glad you used pink snow and not yellow snow (and I hope someone hasn’t already made this lame joke above 🙂 ).

I can see the resemblance.

What I dislike about snow sculptures, is that you put all that work and creativity in and then, in a few days, your hard work melts and goes down the gutter. A lot like life in a way, don’t you think?

I’m glad you didn’t use the yellow snow: it melts faster.
