The full cat or just the pelt/skin type? If it's just the "skin" coloration and effect, I'll find Ross' tutorial on YouTube and post a link here for you.

EDIT: OOPS!!! Ross has a "Tiger Stripe" tutorial, not a Leopard! Sorry about that...just for fun, though - I'll post the link here...if you email him, he might be able to help you, too!

Here's the Tiger Stripe Bead link:

There is a bunch of ways of doing giraffe (this is my favorite because it is so easy!). You can make a round of ivory and then apply dots of dark brown in straight vertical lines (so that when they melt in they get squareish). Another method is to make a dark brown bead and then use ivory stringer to create irregular square shapes.

These are some of my giraffe beads made the first way (these were the first I made like this ):

I think Becky Mason makes really great animal prints, this really helped me when I was starting out.

http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/arch.../t-225248.html




These were made by Becky's sister Diane, they are FANTASTIC, and I believe the giraffe print was made using the second method (it does look better). (go down to the wild animal lozenges)

I use a base of Dark Topaz glass. Make a twisite of black and white stringer, sillvered stringer and goldstone stringer
Melt the stringers into the base and just move them around to give them some pizazz. Then I add little bits of lines of the goldstone and silvered ivory. Encase with clear and add some Dk Topaz glass here and there.
This is how they turn out. Sorry for the crappy pic.
