Springtime – Eastertime – and you’ve seen them everywhere lately and more often in the future: the bunnies (which are often equated here with rabbits and vice versa, but that’s a completely different story. And as is often the case with festivities, there’s a crowd too Kitsch in the shops. That’s one of those things here. Admittedly, it has nothing to do with Easter. But it’s striking: Why is the cowboy or the baseball player, who can also be bought on the product page, of all things a Bunny? If that’s not supposed to have anything to do with Easter, then I don’t know what is.
The animal is made of resin and quite big. The bunny is 33 cm high from its base to its ears, which peek through the cowboy hat. It is 21.5 cm wide and 17.5 cm deep. It is lovingly designed. Such a cowboy not only needs the full gear he has, but also a horse. And since this isn’t the planet of the apes, the bunny isn’t riding a “real” horse, it’s riding a “wooden horse” – it’s not a rocking horse and it doesn’t have a torso, but I really don’t remember like those dummy wooden horses that just have a head have existed and were otherwise only on a stick, on which one “sat” was called in olden times.
And it all has to be hand painted. No machine can do that. The belt buckle and the many small details. It’s all lovely to see. And then there is the fact that it is a solar light. And what functions as an LED light? The lasso. Clever. Okay, the wire isn’t that easy to prep now, but it glows. And long. It was put up the same day, the bunny lit up through the twilight of the evening, all night until the next morning when it got lighter. As a rabbit lover, I would be pretty stupid if I didn’t give this place five stars. But well deserved. Really nice.
