Caitlin Phillips book purses on NPR tonight

The Fellowship of the Ring Paperback Wallet

This wallet is made from a gorgeous vintage copy of JRR Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring," from his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Of every paperback edition ever printed, this is my favorite, because all three covers put together form a complete picture, and it's also the edition I grew up reading.

The front and back covers have been covered in a matte water-resistant vinyl, and lined with the map from the front of the book, also protected by vinyl. The 2 outer card pockets are sewn on from a shiny clear vinyl. The edges are finished with black bias tape, and the wallet is held closed by a black elastic strap.

This paperback wallet measures 7" long by 4.25" wide when unfolded, and fits American currency perfectly. All standard business cards and credit cards will fit in the card pockets. This wallet is unisex, great for men or women, it all depends on what books you like.

Handmade Dragon Tears Red and Teal Cashmere Cowl/Neckwarmer

Part of Tamara Embrey's Red and Aqua/Teal "Dragon" series: a cowl/neckwarmer to fancy-up your wardrobe. Gorgeous soft teal cable cashmere meets red cashmere. This design features her original asymmetric loop design with seven sewn "waves" moving across the red, and seven on the teal (for interest and texture). Seven hand-cut "dragon tears" spill across the red surrounded by bright teal "spiralgraphic" stitching. Exposed teal serging all around.

Wear it: as a neck piece, a cowl, a head piece, around head and neck, or even around your shoulders. Keeps you warm when it's cold outside, or when it's chilly, instead of a coat.

As with all of her designs, this one-of-a-kind piece, hand made by me from 99% recycled materials. Amazingly soft and warm. You'll want to wear it every day.

Custom OOAK Art Dolls

I love this............ A unique gift for yourself or a loved one! This listing is for 1 (one) custom bust inspired by photographs supplied by you. It could be of yourself, a loved one, your favourite writer, artist, scientist – whomever you might like to look at day in and out. While the busts do like the photographs, they are also an artistic representation and will have my own aesthetic.

CONSTRUCTION: busts are hand-sculpted from paperclay over a styrofoam and foil armature without the use of molds; each one is truly one-of-a-kind. The sculpting process involves several layers of paper-clay, which must be dried and sanded between each layer. The busts are lightweight and can stand on their own. Their eyes are handmade from glass or acrylic and paperclay; their wigs are hand-made from mohair and/ or viscose. All embellishments (ribbon and/or lace) are affixed with both thread and glue for added security. They are finished with acrylic paints, pencil, archival pens and acrylic varnish.

ACCESSORIES
Simple accessories such veils, ties and earrings can be included for free. More complex accessories such as hats or parasols can be added for an additional cost, depending on the complexity; please contact me for details.

SIZE: The busts are approx. 5” x 5” at their widest point (12.5 cm x 12.5 cm). Larger, more detailed busts are also available; please convo me for prices and special requests.
