Ginger Cyan is a desert dweller and storyteller. For The Library Of was born out of their love for books and desire to wear some of their favorite covers as jewelry. Each item is painstakingly handbound following the same techniques utilized for their larger counterparts. Ginger uses over-loved books from the Moab Library and local thrift stores that were destined for the landfill to make these smaller creations. The pages of these tiny books hold forgotten stories that are ready to be rediscovered.

Materials: Their earring hooks are either stainless steel or gold-plated. The books themselves are made out of real books that were falling apart and were destined for the landfill and various other kinds of paper. Ginger sews and binds them by hand.
