Get it? Pet... rock...? ...!

A silly visual pun that I saw in that one Ballerina Mafia comic that I can't find right now, and I've wanted to make it physical ever since.

This is a WIP photo of test assembling it to make sure everything fits nice and snug before disassembling it again and dying the leather. I'll get some nicer photos of it once it's not Late O'Clock and I can get some better lighting. In the meantime, there are some more progress shots of it over on my Tumblr page: http://armoreddragon.tumblr.com/post/72530963765

I think I want to make more of these, if people think it would be worth it. But since it has to be custom-fit by hand to each individual rock, and that takes a while, it might have to be in the range of $50. And also I don't have a convenient source of river stones like this, so I'd have to figure that out.
