The Library Collection

Libraries are central to our lives.
We've used them all our lives.
Mary Ann is very active in our
local "Friends" group, one
daughter is a librarian, the other is
a book binder.

We believe libraries are central to
a modern civilization. They are the
most egalitarian institution we
have. We're perfectly entitled to
spend hours within their walls
(providing we're not creating a
disturbance). They can be a place
of peace and quiet or a bustling
center of activity. Libraries exist
to help us entertain and enrich
ourselves. Think of the services
they offer; books, DVDs, CDs,
computer use and often classes,
reference services, story hour and
classes for kids and so much more;
ALL for a MINIMUM of tax
dollars! And yet libraries are so
often targeted during lean times.

Support your local library & be
richer for it.

sterling silver

We've been altering slightly
damaged or otherwise worthless
books. Each one is unique with a
piece of book themed jewelry
carefully inset into the pages of
the book. The piece of jewelry may
be removed and worn. The above
photo shows all three works
together.

"Look it Up" $1800
This hinged, sterling silver
bracelet is 7.5" long. All the folks
are reading or interacting with
books at their library. The pages of
the dictionary were carved out to
hold the bracelet when it's not
being worn. Two copper rivets
hold the carved pages in place to
reduce tearing.

"Life of Goldsmith" $450

This is the first altered book with jewelry that
we did. This copy of "The Life of Goldsmith" by
Washington Irving is missing the last few pages
making it worthless so we turned it into art. The
sterling silver pin has a tiny 18k gold girl reading
a book and three pearls for decoration and
wisdom. It's a one of a kind piece.

"Elizabeth Barrett Browning" $450

Eight tiny sterling silver figures and
one 18k golden girl reading a book.
This unique brooch with "custom
case" is for the true book lover. The
pin is about 2" square and can be
removed from the book and worn.
It's one of a kind.
