These are incredible - I've seen some similar stuff in Seattle just out at a cafe, some of the baristas can be amazingly creative. I once ordered two grandes back to back from one guy because of the stuff like that he'd make on them. Of course, I then gnawed my extremities off and was left for dead by the local constabulary.
There's a great flickr group dedicated to foamy, frothy latte art, too. I can't get enough of it. Lots of bunnies there, too.
BP, please photograph your attempts - that would be so cool! Or so hot, maybe...
LT, you made me laugh out loud, but luckily I wasn't drinking anything at the time. I'm pretending to be sick at work, so it really didn't help my cause to be heard giggling at my desk.
dano, there's an 8 part instruction guide here and a quick and dirty one here. It seems they're just poured, which I can't believe. Neither site mentions dragging or pulling, but in the u suc link, it seems part of the bunny and part of the lion were dragged onto the rim of the cup, but I guess they could have been poured like that? I can't really tell. If these are just poured then I'm even more impressed...
