Playing Possum Necklace watercolor necklace While the squirrel herself was

While the squirrel herself was left to lie in a gory mess on the road

this enamel skull hangs from gunmetal colored chain that's finished off with a lobster clasp

and to symbolize the first new life that grows up through the snow in the otherwise bleak and dead feeling end of winter

as well as to serve as a reminder of the sweet lives of the deceased little critters

Playing Possum Necklace watercolor necklace While the squirrel herself wasThis pendant is inspired by the bodies of animals I find mangled in the road, often at the edge where it meet the forests surrounding my rural home. The enamel head has a mixture of red beads spilling out from it, adding movement and beauty while also depicting blood embellished with tiny pearl "maggots". The pendant hangs from plated iron chain with a gunmetal finish and has a gunmetal lobster clasp to match. materials: enamel, watercolor enamel,
