Raccoon Coin Bank - Bottom View

I've been making hedgehogs for a little while now, and while I've received requests for other animals, I honestly hadn't really considered making them.

However, I had a dream recently that literal clay raccoons found there way into my last apartment. Normally when I find animals where they shouldn't be I do my best to relocate them --I'm so glad that snapping turtles can reach back only so far with their necks, or I might be throwing in a different way-- Sorry for the digression, in this dream I had tried to shoo two clay raccoons back out of the apartment and down the three story fire escape.

My attempts at being gentle resulted in one of the raccoons getting punted out the door and down three stories, and the other getting squished by the door. Apparently these clay raccoons had very convincing clay guts.

Although I couldn't save them in the dream, I knew that it was perhaps the right time to start making other animals. #animal #animalbank #bank #coinbank #piggybank #clay #ceramic #stoneware #pottery #sculpture #handmade #wheel #wheelthrown #raccoon #trickster #functional #claytoy #toy
