Announcement

Vintage and antique Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Mathematics textbook illustrations, dating back to the early 1800s (back when they were hand drawn by artists and not created by computers), preserved and set in silver.

Each a one of a kind piece.

Conversation starters for the science geek or guru whose life revolves around pi, Avogadro's number, the speed of light or a favorite organelle.

Show off your passion!

If there is a custom order you would like, feel free to contact me and I will try my darndest to find it and make it for you. Many of my orders have been custom and I truly enjoy making the perfect piece for you or your classmates, lab mates or special geeks.

A custom order ready to go with a personalized Birthday card.

This shop is my connection, my Corpus Callosum

While working as both a teacher and professor in chemistry for over twelve years, including an adjunct professor and an online instructor, I felt that creative bug creeping up. I went to my local, small town vintage book shop and Left Brain * Right Brain was born; the corpus callosum of my scientific passion and creative urges.

Finding the perfect vintage textbook with amazing illustrations that are just the right size for jewelry is a new pastime. My little New England town is flourishing with vintage and antique shops and the Brimfield Antique Fair three times a summer.
