THE PAINSTAKING and intricate work of a Swarovski artist from Coventry is on shimmering display in Touchwood shopping centre.
Keith Mogford spent over 1,000 hours to create the life-size black panther which is currently on display and sale at Eaton Fine Art in the centre.
Each jet black Swarovski crystal – and there are thousands of them – were all applied by hand using tweezers.
“It’s been a massive undertaking, but I’m delighted with how fantastic the panther looks,” said Keith.
“Lots of people have been admiring it and have even been taking selfies with it in the background.”
Anyone wanting to snap up Keith’s panther can do so if they have £12,995 to spare.
