Miniature Black Leopard sculpture

Description

Have you ever started a sculpture and put it aside?  Well, this is one that I sculpted on a whim back in 2012, and left on the shelf until this week.  It is not a 'true' 1:12 scale piece, but a wee bit larger sitting at 2 1/4 inches (5.8 cm) in height to top of head.  My initial idea back then, was to make it a Persian Leopard with yellow-gold eyes, yet I was not motivated to apply this sort of coat.  Rather, I felt it wanted to be finished out as a black leopard with green eyes...so, here it is. 

The sculpt is polymer clay over wire & foil with poseable wire-based tail.  The coat was applied using a blend of 50/50 alpaca & silk.  I absolutely love this fiber as it is butter-soft with a beautiful sheen, however, because it is part silk, it must be applied very carefully or it will look patchy.  "When in doubt, wear black"
