Jelly babies have been around for almost 100 years - they've been called Peace Babies, too, and back in the days of rationing you got 8 of them to last you a week! These inedible versions aren't rationed though - they've been made from Fimo polymer clay in purple (not pictured), orange, red, green, yellow or black and strung on an 18" silver plated bead chain. Baked in silicone moulds that I made from real jelly babies, each one is a carbon copy of a genuine sweet. Please state which colour you'd like in the message to seller option!

This unique upcycled domino keyring features the iconic album art from the Born in the USA album and a lyric from the title track. The domino design was commissioned by me from an American graphic artist, mounted and sealed onto the domino and then glazed with a dimensional water-based glaze which makes it splashproof but not waterproof. The domino has been attached to a chain and a sturdy split-ring keyring to make an unusual gift for any music fan...or your own cool rockin' daddy!
