Well Met

Tourney Cat by Jeff de Boer

That's what we would say during Medieval times if we were to greet each other. That's what this cat would say if he could speak then. But if you were looking for an armour for your cat during those days, you would be out of luck because the guy who makes these lives in our century.

A jewellery design major, Jeff de Boer used his skills and his interest in metal work to create his first animal suit of armour for a mouse. Although his works can be worn by animals they were created for the artist states that they would cease to be works of art and become mere objects. As an instant fan of his works I would have to disagree. These are some of the most interesting and beautiful things I've seen.
