This cute bunny is sporting your lovebunny's feet! A cute combination with plenty of options for personalizing. This could very easily also be used to commemorate a birth and display in a nursery. The other selling point on this project is, the feet can be various sizes: the prints on this platter are of a three-year-old. So, it isn't just for babies!

Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Using a No. 2 pencil, trace the bunny pattern onto the platter.
- Using a cotton ball, paint 1 coat of SC-70 Pink-A-Dot on the outer 1/3 of the sky (Note: The rim stays white).
- Again, using a cotton ball, paint the whole sky SC-24 Dandelion.
- Sponge 2 coats of SC-9 Jaded on as grass. The grass and the horizon meet.
- Paint 1 coat of SC-70 Pink-A-Dot over the nose.
- Paint 1 coat of SC-31 The Blues over the eyeballs.

- Add a dot of SC-16 Cotton Tail on the pupils.
- Apply 2 coats of SC-75 Orange-A-Peel on the carrot.
- Apply 1 coat of SC-52 Toad-ily Green on the carrot greens.
- Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, outline the bunny using SC-35 Gray Hare.
- Using a No. 2 pencil, sketch a bow on to the top of the platter like the one in our sample. Apply 3 coats of SC-9 Jaded on the bow.
- Sponge 2 coats of SC-9 Jaded carefully onto the lip of the rim.
- Outline the bow with SC-35 Gray Hare.
- Using CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, paint the child's right foot with SC-14 Java Bean and apply a print to the right side of the bunny positioned with the toes slightly out. Repeat this step with the left foot.
