Custom Piggy Bank
A basic Google search never fails to unearth something Jon Burgerman doodled while I blinked to sneeze. Right here we have a goodie from the Spanish Piggy Bank Blog that was originally uploaded in December of 2008. It’s a ceramic piggy bank. Banks are a new item for the artkive, hooray! Here’s some bilingual bits about the project:
What is a Piggy Bank? ¿Que es un Piggy Bank?
Its a ceramic pot in the shape of a pig with a slot on the top so you can store your coins. Es un recipiente de ceramica en forma de cerdito con una ranura en la parte superior para almacenar monedas.
What is it for? ¿Para que sirve?
Its used to teach children the value of money and the illusion to be able to buy something special and a litlle more expensive with the money saved up. Se utiliza para enseñar a los niños el valor del dinero y la ilusion de ahorrar para comprar algo mas caro con el dinero ahorrado.
How is it used? ¿Como se utiliza?
The idea is not to be able to access the money inside the pig untill the day comes when you wish to buy your object wich you have saved up for. To do this you must brake the pig. La idea es no poder acceder al dinero dentro del cerdito hasta el dia que deseas comprar el objeto por el cual has ahorrado.
How is it made? ¿Como esta hecho?
Its handmade in ceramic. Artesanalmente en ceramica.
Made in Spain not in China. Hecho en España no en China.
Made by an adult not a child. Realizado por un adulto, no un niño
Why this website? ¿Por qué esta web?
The idea is to create the biggest collection of pigs in the world. La idea es crear la colección mas grande de cerditos del mundo.

The exhibit for which the pigs were being customized has already happened, and it looks like (sadly) the website has not been updated in a while. You can still download the piggy bank template to design your own here.
