Butterfly Metamorphosis.... by ~Tofubunnny is a beautiful example of intricate metalwork. The container is decorated with chased and repoussed designs and the ring holder in the center is shaped like a flower and holds a butterfly double-ring. The two rings are designed to resemble caterpillars and are attached to the wings, which can flap on hinges when the two rings are pulled apart and pushed together. This is an amazing display of a well executed, themed work with beautiful details. You can see more detail photos in the deviant's gallery.

Description

The container is Chased and Repoussed in a butterfly design. Chasing is when the metal is hammered from outside in and Repousse is when the metal is hammered from inside out. The project theme was based on the idea of this technique. One side of the metal is the negative indentation, and the other side is the positive; although they are opposites, they are the same.

Edit: Thank you everyone! I didn't expect to get a DD but it makes me very happy. :)
