leopard of panar - brass cuff...




A glamorously large hand pierced and formed brass cuff, with hand etched leopard print on the exterior, and the interior that bears my makers mark E², is hammered smooth for a comfortable feel against your skin. The gorgeous leopard pattern was the result of a piece of lace that I transferred the design onto the brass, and chemically etched around the design it left. Oxidized for color and effect, sanded and polished to achieve a high shine, and lastly, hand buffed with a protective wax finish to protect the oxidization of the piece for years to come.


The Leopard of Panar...gorgeously ferocious in it's day, thought to have killed over 400 people in Northern India until he himself, was hunted down by a conservationalist and naturalist in 1910, to save the lives of those remaining in the nearby tribes.

military and leopard...combination for the not-so-faint-of-heart...

this is a piece for those that love to make statements...something that is a bit out of the ordinary, yet still familiar. a piece that combines two very in and trending fashion statements...military + animal print.


a duo of hand pierced and formed brass dogtags, with hand etched leopard print on both sides. the gorgeous leopard pattern was the result of a piece of lace that I transferred to the brass, and chemically etched around the design it left. oxidized for color and effect, and hand buffed with a protective wax finish to protect the pieces for years to come. not one two dogtags will be alike! these two tags hang from a sterling silver ball chain, keeping the theme true to military style for this Fall/Winter 2010 Season.

this piece was actually the result of my EtsyMetal Teams Project Runway Challenge, and I fell in love with it so much I felt I had to offer it on my site! follow this link to see the results for this weeks and others on the blog. I love these fun challenges! http://etsymetal.blogspot.com/2010/09/project-runway-season-8-episode-5-there.html
