The Lady

~ Handmade Wearable Book ~

 

“Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you--haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!” - Heathcliff

 

Inspired by one of my favourite classic “Wuthering Heights”, this mixed media wearable book necklace combines 16/18/20g brass wires augmented by fire, an old brass connector, lace, Howlite beads, Pyrite beads, Picasso Jasper Beads, Flower Agate, ornate brass beads, an old barrel key and a handmade miniature book. The miniature book is made from rustic leather, coffee stained lace, coffee stained papers, various brass stampings, bits of fabric, an image of a vintage beauty resin-ed and matted and a crackled clay heart.

 

* Circumference of the chain is approximately 28 inches.

 

* Length of the pendant, from ornate brass bead to end of key is another 8 inches.
