I think it looks like a string of little mousies. Round butts, pointy noses and big ears. I love this and of course, the workmanship is excellent!!

Frida, I believe we have traded places! I should be seeing skulls and you should be seeing animals!!

I don’t know what it is with my pieces but this is the second one I have made that some of you see things in them that I totally didn’t think of while making it.Well I’m happy to be a designer that thinks outside of the box:)
