The Copper Cat

I decided to try something a little new with my skull cleaning. I took a bobcat skull, sprayed it with some primer and then did three coats of hammered copper paint. I then took a wood plaque and stained it with a walnut color. Next I got a small 1/4 threaded steel rod and painted it dark brown, then clear coated it for some shine. Put them all together and I ended up with this:



I think it looks very different! Not really my favorite, but I'm glad I did the project. I donated the whole setup to the Xtreme Predator Callers (XPC) here in Arizona for their Chirstmas party silent auction. I don't know how much it ended up going for, but the guy who won was very happy, so that's what matters!
