i know it's not the best quality picture.
i apologize! my "real" camera is M.I.A.! yikes :(
i'll take more pics once i can convince camantha to come out of hiding.
in my excitement, i just wanted to get this on my blog asap!
so, i embarked on a little arts&crafts journey last night...
and after an hour of sheer mayhem ... i emerged with THIS :)
i cut out two pieces of "Mere Christianity" and glued them to this metal pendant (front and back).
i know it sounds like borderline sacrilege, but with two extra copies of this little gem lying around, i see it more as an honor to my hero.
it has another little antique charm and the letter "e" that looks like an old typewriter key.
the chain is roughly 3ft long (about 1.5 ft from the back of your neck to the pendant)
overall, i LOVE it and am wearing it today.
my goal is to put it on etsy once i get better pics. i can, of course, do this with ANY piece of literature (besides any in my own personal library... i dont think i'll be chopping up my only copy of crime & punishment!) AND with any letter. for the moment, i only have Mere Christianity available for use on this pendant. i sold many of my extra copies during my move :( BUT i am a frequent half price book-er and will, soon enough, have a variety to choose from. but who doesnt want a little Clivey with them during the day??
and i promise. MORE & BETTER pics to come.
This is so awesome! I'll be waiting for the announcement that you are on Etsy and will quickly snatch up anything you sell there.... then my closet shrine to THE Elizabeth Julene will be complete (I already have the statue of chewed gum molded into the shape of your face)
ReplyDeleteps- i found the link to this on facebook, thought you closed that?
ReplyDeletecourt: i'm not the only one?! i have a box full of your strands of hair i would collect from our room after you blowdried by the window...
ReplyDeletealso, i did delete it, but after making this little work of art, i reactivated it (my intention: for the next 24 hours) just to show the world my little creation!!
