- Rabbit : Fawn (or color of your choice)
Background: med/light green with darker green fine detail

Nose: whiskers - outline sahding: brown earth (Jo Sonya or equivalent)
Add white paws, also underline chin, tummy, tail and inside ears.

To construct:
Place one side face down and glue seat in position.
Next, with glue on edge of seat, position carefully to line up with marks, dab glue on dowel ends and place between sides, checking that position is correct. Set aside to dry.
The insides are painted two coats of white. Later the whole rocker can be srpayed with crystal clear to give a nice sheen finish.
