Here are a few of my current creations inspired by books:
Dandelion Wine Beads, take their namesake from Ray Bradbury’s novel.
Bookplates are popping up as Secret Garden Pendants, an interesting mixed media creation after a little shopping in my local scrapbook store.I’d love to see your jewelry or beads that have been inspired by books. Leave a link in the comments for a chance to be featured in an upcoming post.
