"These Tiger Earrings are the most popular of all my pieces. This particular design is hand painted on the back with matching reddish brown acrylic paint and orange glitter for a stand out look if your hair is short, or should they turn. There are many hand painted accents for a more dramatic appearance from any angle. This would make a very nice gift for the Tiger or animal lover. Birchwood is 1/8 inch thick, very light, and strong. Findings are gold colored fishhook style. You can order different findings with the "custom" option. Edges and backs are hand painted to carry the color around, so it looks nice from the back. Triple thick acrylic coating is applied for a glossy rich colored appearance, and to protect and enhance the colors. These are printed replicas of my original artwork. Though I usually add some touchups to brighten the eyes or other enhancements that I think are needed."
