The EtsyMetal Challenge Translation: Create a piece choosing a concept and a textile from the same list the PR contestants had to chose from (the textile can be literal or implied):

Concepts: minimalist, 50's retro & lady-like shapes, menswear for women, military,

Textiles: gold or other metalics, camel, leopard or cheetah prints, plaid, lace

I choose Military (concept) + Leopard (textile). My husband is in the Air Force, and I love playing with his dog tags. Choosing the military concept for this challenge hit very close to home for me.
Brass military dog tags, hand-drawn leopard print etching, silver ball chain.
