Sorry to say it is not. I'm way too attached to it.
Glad you like it, though.

Fantastic! It's a beautiful piece, but it's got that little bit of humor that just finishes it perfectly.

Thanks! Fabricated. I cut out the top outline with the cavity, soldered it onto another sheet and then cut that out.

This is probably the most chic representation of a jackalope I have ever seen. It is just so clean. And the selected text from OTOOS is perfectly italicized. You have brought the jackalope, Darwin, and reading 19th century scientific literature back into fashion. Thank you.

This is beautiful, so delicate and pretty, it would look great with a silk scarf or a cape

Thaks like brooches, but I've never wanted to wear the "hummingbirds n' flowers" kinda crap most people make them into. :/

I love this brooch! I get what you mean. I don't like the hummingbirds and flowers approach. How old lady-ish.
I do, however, love my Owl brooches. Hoot.
I'd totally wear this. Gorgeous.

Oh yes, I agree. Those are usually so boring.

Never has a jacklope been so awesome.
And jackalopes are already pretty high up on the awesome scale.

Danke.
I've always been a fan, myself,but you never see them anywhere. Half the people I've shown this to are like "Jackawhat?"
