Library of antique and scrap leather books for the neck - eleven miniature books

Description

This is a usable and wearable miniature library!

This is only an example of such a leviathan. The one in the photograph has been sold.

If you order this, you will receive a necklace with the same amount of books in the same sizes and same presentation. If you wish for other sizes, let me know and I shall price it for you.

Also, please let me know if you would prefer a 16 inch or 18 inch piece (with the centre chain hanging one inch lower)

The books will be a mix of antique and scrap leathers according to my desires and materials, however, if you would like to specific colours or tones, email me with the particulars and I may be able to accommodate!

Materials: (archival innards, antique & gathered outards)
leather - antique leather

paper - Strathmore drawing, acid-free, hand torn and stitched.
thread and binding tape - linen
headband - found in London, vintage

My books are made using archival insides and antique outsides. Inside you'll find lineless strathmore drawing paper - thick, hand-torn, acid-free pages that work perfectly with ink, pens both thick and superfine, pencil, charcoal, and myriad other mediums. the pages are each hand sewn with archival linen binder's thread. The books' covers are made using hand-picked scraps and worn leather from wherever I can find them, cut to fit the appropriate size. The books can be carried daily and beat up. They are quite strong creatures.

I am always interested in trading olde leather toward books! Please contact me if you have some!
