Calling all authors, publishers & producers! ✍
Interested in establishing a collection of Book Beads or clay tiles that you can offer either on your site or mine? I am always looking for partners who are searching for unique ways to promote their books and/or CDs.
Being allowed to create for you would be a tremendous honor! Upon securing your ©opyright permission, we can collaborate on the design, layout and end product for your line of book beads or clay tiles.
Sculpted out of polymer clay, Book Beads are miniature books that uncannily resemble the real thing. Each double-sided book measures 7/8” L x 5/8” W x ¼” H (or 24 x 18 x 7 mm) approximately. A finished bead weighs about 0.10 oz (or 3 grams). Page ridge detail is etched on three sides of the mini-book. The spine has room for a title, name or short message. Collaged book images are then painstakingly burnished onto the clay surface. The mini book charms are then sealed, before repeatedly being glazed (minimum 3 coats) to a glossy finish, making them not only durable, but also water-resistant. It takes about 3 weeks, from start to finish, to complete a custom book bead. The beads can be made into jewelry (earrings, necklace, bracelets, pins) & accessories (stitch markers, wine charms, tie tacs, cuff links, bookmarks etc.) With a built-in hole for a headpin, each bead pivots freely and is easily recognizable. Their cut, clarity of image and design are without rival! Best of all, they are proudly handmade right here in the USA.
