This is actually a basic 4-in-1 chainmaille pattern, but the links are three different sizes (and materials), which gives it an interesting snakey texture. The edges are accented with forest green glass seed beads. The mouse skull was reclaimed from an owl pellet, cleaned, sanitized, sealed and cameo set by yours truly.

  2. 2

    Real skulls, and mouse skull jewelry in particular, have been popular for the last couple of years. The problem is, they're EXPENSIVE and you you have no way of knowing if they ethecially source their materials. So I made my own using bones out of an owl pellet, which you can buy online or in science discovery try shops for a dollar or two.
