Bloody Mouse Earrings

These mouse earrings are inspired by the neighborhood cats I see passing through my back yard with birds or mice hanging from their mouths. They features a mixture red, glass beads that catch the light as they spill out from the enameled mouse heads, adding movement and beauty while also depicting blood embellished with tiny pearl "maggots".
