Heart with Wild Animals

It takes real technical skill to etch five wildly different creatures—a poison arrow frog, green sea turtle, butterfly, giraffe, and elephant—into one small gold-tone heart without losing their distinct shapes. Mike Warner managed to keep every outline crisp and recognizable, using textured photo-etching to define each silhouette within the frame. Gathering animals from the jungle, ocean, savanna, and sky into a single design makes this piece one of the most unique crossovers in my collection.
