Bloody Mouse Head Pendant

This mouse necklace is inspired by the neighborhood cats I see passing through my back yard with birds or mice hanging from their mouths. The pendant features a mixture of red beads spilling out from the enameled mouse head, adding movement and beauty while also depicting blood embellished with tiny pearl "maggots".
