`Town Mouse and Country Mouse` bangle

Paper book bangle made from Ladybird book`Town Mouse and Country Mouse`.
ISBN No 0-7214-0856-7,
Published in1985.

The bangle was made abut a year ago and wasn't able to find it amongst the chaos that is my home until yesterday!
It is now up for sale on the website `Made by hands of Britain`

There is a feature on me and my jewellery in this months (Feb) Cheshire Life magazine and I have had several enquiries about my bangles so I was doubly motivated to find it !
