There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement.

Which lead to a whole other experiment on the flip side, sponging through a paper towel at varying voltages, and transferring the texture from the towel while creating a (sloppy) gradient.....with a little work, this could become something cool too
The possibilities for things to experiment with are literally endless! Lol
