The Usagi Labbit

The Labbit I designed for the Japanese American National Museum will be sold at auction on-line, instead of in their gift shop as most of the Labbits will be. I am not sure when the auction will be, but the Labbit exhibit opens on July 14. I will let you know when it is posted.

Here is a link to my Labbit:

Your labbit has a very startled expression what with that little round mouth hole.

I also love how you added the swords to it!
