Small Creature On A Pendant

Small Creature On A Pendant

This is one of my best sculptures, but I must create another strap or chain for it At the moment, it is just held around the wearers neck by a simple piece of cord. I want to put as much effort into the necklace itself as I did for the sculpture. The creature is...
