Description A new, magical design; a leopard with peacock feather and semi precious bead strand.  This version is a black leopard with iridescent spots in peacock colors! 

The leopard and feather are both made of hand carved, hand shaped leather.  Each hair and quill are carefully cut into the leather for added detailed realism.  Then it's painted with a variety of iridescent color-shifting acrylic paints.  A tiger eye stone is set in the center of the mask, and the bead strands feature amber, pear and lapis in bright matching peacock colors. 

A really fun, one-of-a-kind mask that I'm very pleased with...available here:  www.etsy.com/listing/182967896…

You do some fine work that's for sure. A true classic form of art, my late uncle was going to trainee me in the art of leather working but he became ill and never recuperated.  Maybe one day when things slow down around here "if ever" maybe I can get you to take me on as a apprentice.  The way things are now though this year is plumb booked up lol I stay so busy I don't know if I'm coming or going half the time.  Anywho take care of yourself and keep on living the artist dream
