Find your niche!
1977 Science Microfilm Earrings - $12 |
It took me a while to figure mine out - but once I did, I couldn't believe it took me as long as it did to figure out. I'm a librarian, I love reading, I love being a librarian and helping others develop a love of reading...so why not make book themed goodies?!
Dewey Decimal Earrings - $17 |
I started using the cards from our old card catalog (that they are throwing away, because our records have long since been digitized) to make lovely jewelry. I use books that are being withdrawn (removed from the collection) and old bound periodicals like these images from a large bound copy of the London Times.
Buckingham Palace Earrings - $17 |
Incorporating something I love into my jewelry (rather than just things I found "pretty") has shown me that other people really love it too! There are more bibliophiles out there than I ever imagined, and plenty of others who like the style for it's "geek chic" - so go out there, and find your niche! It might be right under your nose!
Happy Crafting,
