Petrice Zwik - a bookGoddess

Description

A bookmark holds your place in the book you're reading. A bookGoddess does that AND bestows her benevolent charm AND exudes the sort of funky fashion sense so common in the hippie enclave called Iowa City, Iowa.

This bookGoddess is named for my fiber aritst friend, Patty Z who lives and works her fiber magic in Iowa City. With any luck - one of these days I'll convince her to get her gorgeous stuff on Etsy!!

9.25" tall X 2.5" wide (235mm X 65mm) Petrice Zwik knows the secret of successful fashion - wear whatever the hell you want! Purple pants with pink polka dots under a pink and white skirt with metallic gold flurishes - and a bit of faux stitches at her mid section. Her top is a mossy green with a section of red & cream stripes --- overlaid with gray paint which represents that sweater you might need and shows that, for all her devil-may-care attitude, she does have a sensible side. Her gray sweater has 5 white buttons (paint) and it's all topped off with a simple gold necklace (glitter). Her hat is made from fabric - first a brightly colored hat with a black and white print brim which tapers to a point on one side where bells are attached (actually it's just glitter... if you can hear the bells tinkle, then I applaud your excellent imagination!) From the other side flows her long multi-colored hair --- flowing down past her waist - a tribute to all the hippie chicks and dudes of Iowa City who wear their hair long. Her face is play doh which I have painted with copper, gold, iridescent blues and pinks --- to resemble an ancient being who will inspire you to read more. "Fear NOT!" she says to tell you... "Any and all reading materials are groovy - I am not a snob." she says.

All this glamor and charm - glued securely to cardstock which is a print of my artwork, embellished a bit with bits and pieces of books and such just to create the perfect environment for this groovy bookGoddess. However, languishing in my Etsy box is not what she wants out of life --- she wants to be YOUR bookmark and embark (ASAP) on reading adventures with you or your favorite book lover.
