"Whimsical and intricate"

These book ends are whimsical rabbits, but the hand-painted designs on them are much more intricate and beautiful than I expected. I was so pleased with them.

"Very artistic"

Im a big fan of these hand-carved and painted dolls. I do wish the paintings were different instead of the rabbits being identical, but that doesnt take away from the quality or workmanship.

"A new addition to my Turtle collection"

Gusti Ngurah is a true artist. Hope to collect all his turtles and small jewelry boxes as small rewards to myself. The details in his paint strokes are just incredible!
