Whimsical turned legs add to the charm of this conversation piece. Painted with durable nontoxic acrylic paints and coated in at least three coats of a polyacrylic finish it can withstand many years of family love.

Henry is My Muse


Henry the Bunny Rabbit is My Muse. He knows when something I have painted is good. He gives me the Henry Hop of Approval.
As you can see, He is an undecided Lop. One Ear Up One Ear down. When he has both ears up he is mad. Both ears down he is relaxed. My nervouse wild bunny, Josephine is hopping on the desk - also ,=======.on the keyboard - (note typos) You will hear from Henry in his lagamorph lounge on occasion.
