Forged wearable 28-in chain metal book with eco-dyed pages This small Coptic-bound book hangs on 28 inches of leather lace, handmade and vintage metal chain. A tiny round brass frame holds a photo of a lighthouse. The word "harmony" rests below in pooled silver-bearing, lead-free solder on the cover. Both are protected by a thin layer of resin.It opens to reveal seven signatures of *eco-dyed and cream pages. The chain has been embellished with amazonite and larimar beads, as well as a chalcedony teardrop. One section of the chain has been hand crafted from bronze wire. A rhinestone rondelle flashes on a tightly wrapped length of steel wire. The book can be securely closed with a deer skin lace. *The eco-dyed pages were made by extracting the leaves' pigment through boiling and coaxing. It comes in an ecodyed, hand-stitched wool felt bag.
