Whoooops! Oh No! Plop, bang, splat. Did you know resin figurines splinter and shatter when they fall on hard surfaces. Very interesting and unusual to see all those colorful fragments. Very unproductive and cost inefficient to say the least. Another lesson from the school of hard knocks.
This is exactly what happened to the cute Peter rabbit figurine yesterday. Oh woe. The dear little rabbit in the lower right-hand corner lost his battle.
It was time for the final gloss coating on the bottom. When I went to pick him up, it was at the wrong angle. He twisted awkwardly in my finger tips. It then went catapulting through the air. Almost caught it in the crook of my elbow but abruptly bounced off crashing to its demise. He did land on his feet though. However, the right foot snapped off with all sorts of weird shards and shave-fragments over the floor. The floor is porcelain tiling on a cement slab. Yup, you got it. Harder than hard. Was not a chance in for the poor little guy. He has gone to ‘bunny heaven’ in the sky. Yup, I broke and I own it.
