Have you ever looked up at the moon to see the Rabbit in the Moon? If you look at the right time of the year the craters of the moon form the shape of a rabbit using a grinding pestle.
From Owlcation:
In China, the moon rabbit is usually called 'yuè tù' (月兔), which means "moon rabbit"! However, the moon rabbit is also called 'yù tù' (玉兔), or "Jade Rabbit", and sometimes Grandpa Rabbit, Gentleman Rabbit, Lord Rabbit, and the Gold Rabbit. Stories about the moon rabbit date as far back as the Warring States period (about 475-221 BCE). According to legend, the moon rabbit is a companion to the moon goddess Chang'e and pounds the elixir of life for her in its pestle. It lives in the moon with the toad and can be seen every year in full view on Mid-Autumn Day, or August 15th.

KMcD has drawn for us a lovely compass. She has been quite precise with this, using a ruler and exact measurements to create this nice 3D shape. Sometimes 'simple' is quite complex to create!

EM has combined Moon and Collide to create this work. I really like the textured feel of the sky. Fineliners and Inktense pencils (white, indigo, poppy red). She tells me she used a tortillion on the inktense pencils first, before wetting to achieve this effect. Works quite well.

SW has also done a combo work, Compass and Collide. The color graduation is very effective. Like EM's driver distracted by the Moon, Buddy is focusing too intently on his compass to see where he is really headed! Look Up, Buddy!
