Holy Cow!

The first time I saw one of these I knew I wanted it {don't judge greedy me}. It was a couple a years ago that I laid my eyes on this piece of art or concept so to say. There are multiple reasons why I wanted it -  one, the proceeds go to charity {mother T moment}; two- they are gorgeous; three; it is a great collectors piece and there is one for everybody. You can find out more about it on facebook or log on to their website. There are golfers, cooks, nurses, doctors, singers,......poets- maybe!

Here's my very own and my very first. This one is a Moo Potter, it comes under the food, wine and kitchen collection. See here for more details.

Why Cows?

This is a popular question. Simply, the cow is a universally beloved animal. The cow represents different things to different people around the world-she's sacred, she's historical, she connects us to our past-but the common feeling is one of affection. There is something magical about the cow that transcends throughout the world. She simply makes everyone smile.

As an art canvas, there is no other animal or object that provides the form, flexibility, and contiguous breadth of a cow. The three shapes (standing, grazing, reclining) provide artists with subtle, yet interesting angles and curves to create unique works of art. The basic cow form is also benign so that it can be altered, transformed, and morphed into completely other animals, people or objects. Incredibly, over 2500 hundred Cows have been created worldwide, but no two are alike.
