Photo Only: Nia's Bookmark
Stones Brought Home From A Dozen Book Tours
Where to begin? The large oval at the bottom of the photo is lepidolite, a natural source of librium and popular in New Age jewelry. Beside that is a disk of citrine. Near the top of the photo is a walrus carved from goldstone. Near that is a heart carved from red jasper or carnelian agate. Midway down the photo is a daisy carved from alabaster. Off hand, I see aventurine, onyx, fire jasper, amethyst, red coral, rose quartz, golden tigers eye, pearls, and abalone.
Thank you Nia for sharing this photo via The Cult site. And thank you for helping rescue animals.
That is beautiful, Chuck. Thank you Nia for sharing! I hope others share theirs too!! :)
I sent my address to the webmaster at chuckpalahniuk.net -- will it get to you?
Chuck! Mine arrived yesterday. It's a work of art. Exceeded my wildest expectations. Even the packaging was superb (There should be a meme: "Find someone that wraps presents for you the way Chuck Palahniuk wraps presents!") It's the most unique, bad ass bookmark I've ever seen, and it's displayed across the entirety of one of my book shelves (guess which one?). Our dog Max got a whiff of the box before I opened it--I think it cleared his sinuses and mine! =) The bat carved from opalite is my favorite, but everything is tremendous, down to every last detail like the font on the letter. My wife absconded with the mints. Thank you for such a beautiful keepsake, and thank you for helping the animals at Pixie Project. You're a saint! Josh
