Today's book is actually two books, a tiny pair of blank journals made into earrings. These are actual books. Each earring book has 20 pages (40 counting both sides) of artist paper -- Arches Text Wove -- folded into two signatures, which are then long-stitch bound onto the red leather covers. They're stitched with waxed linen thread, and the tie closure is also linen thread. Attahced to antiqued copper hand-made earwires, they hang very nicely.
These are great fun. I love the way they came out and like how they look on. I'll definitely be making more of these book earrings for my etsy shop.
The pic below shows how nicely these hang when worn. I may have to wear these out somewhere this week!
