Greene King Beer Mat Brooch Creatures The pendant is the original

The pendant is the original head to the toy and the articulated plastic green body segments form one side of the necklace

It is strung to a long necklace of bone and wood beads

Pince-Nez literally means pinch your nose in French and it seemed to make sense to create a pair of eyes within the frames

The finishing touch is a delicate necklace of soft blue apatite beads

This piece was inspired by the multitude of padlocks attached to places of interest on our travels
