Description: The shape of a bunny has been created by using thick glue to outline the form. It is placed in the center of the pink-colored page and faces the side of the picture. The glue outlines the eyes, legs, and some decorative shapes on the rabbit's body. The glue is thick enough to create a tactile drawing. Inside the outlines of the glue, the artist has applied imaginative colors: the face is gray, the eye and inside of the ear are blue, the tips of the ears are dark red, and the body is green. Three dark red shapes that remind one of straps or belts set with blue gems are placed across the hare's body. It does, indeed, remind one of cloisonné enamel work that is made by setting colored enamels inside an outline of thin strips of wire welded to a metal surface.
