Is this the new be@rbrick meets mimobots?  How many knockoff parts can you find?

I recently had the opportunity to do a crossover with the very talented Kerri O’Connell of GoodWood NYC. For those of you unfamiliar with Kerri’s work, she is a designer who chooses to craft her jewelry out of wood. The moneygrip medallion was something that had been in the back of my mind for a long time, I was just waiting for the right medium and the right person to do it. GoodWood NYC did a great job on these and I couldn’t be happier.

I’ll be dropping these for sale at the kaNO kid shop next wednesday September 2nd at 12pm EST, as always I will only have a limited supply in my shop.

medium: Wood      Dimensions: 4″X.25″    Price: $35.00 USD + shipping (Chain included)
