I am a polymer clay artist who specializes in sculpting miniature books. Inspired by countless book hangovers, I found a way to keep them on hand - literally. In 2009, after more than a year of solid research, experimenting and effort, Book Beads were born! There are thousands of old books or "classics" available in the Public Domain. Sadly, most have poorly designed OR stock covers that simply do not capture the essence of the book. Book Beads is on a mission to revive dusty, old books by designing original cover images for them or faithfully adapting existing ones. Our goal simply, is to raise awareness about long-forgotten books one book bead at a time. So go ahead: FLAUNT. YOUR. BOOKS
