I don't have real exact notes on this piece, but I suspect I strung the tail, at least, some time after I completed this necklace —note the same graduated sequence of amber rectangles in the bottom tail as in the tassel of the other piece (from which I recall copying it.) Since that piece was completed mid-March, I probably started this one shortly thereafter.
Dead mouse, 7-5/8" long (exclusive of keyring); focal bead, about 5/8x3/4" I evidently didn't make any notes about when I strung the tails or assembled the piece, but the latter, at least, happened within the last two months.

The two ivory dotties feature reactive glass dots, but almost certainly from scrap I had lying around, so I don't have much info beyond that as to what kind of glass it was. All in all, what I feel is a reasonably handsome mouse and excellent, and serendipitous, lighting.[1]
[1]I find by tilting the black plexi up relative to the horizontal white surface that serves as the ‘ceiling’ I get this nice reflection on the background that pops the subject and hides the dust, not to mention reflecting through any transparent beads.
