Book Necklace with hemp cord and clock gear bead by Charlene Matthews

Wearable art by Charlene Matthews: Book Necklace with hemp cord and clock gear bead is a wearable artist blank book with, you guessed it, a hemp cord and clock gear bead.

We are thrilled and honored to offer unique, handmade, and beautiful artworks by Los Angeles based book artist and master bookbinder Charlene Matthews.

Matthews has recently been exhibited at the Los Angeles Craft and Folk Art Museum and is a sought-after teacher in Los Angeles. We LOVE her work. Her end papers are gorgeous, her bindings are meticulous, her understanding of the history and nature of her materials is vast. It’s all beautiful to touch and look at. She is surprising and innovative — within her very strict adherence to quality and craft

A true piece of Los Angeles artist book history.
